The surgery took place on June 16 through a device called ”piccolo’.,.
He was diagnosed with Patent Ductus Arteriosus or PDA, a common condition detected in newborns.
PDA causes a duct or an opening in a child’s heart to stay open which otherwise would have closed within three to seven days of the birth. This causes a backflow of blood from the heart to the lungs causing major complications due to the blood pooling in the lungs, doctors said.
