Only three other institutions in the U.S. We are thrilled with Elias’ progress and we are hopeful this will eliminate the need for future surgeries,” said Chesney Castleberry, M.D., medical director of the Pediatric Heart Failure and Transplant Program and Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Dell Med.
“This is a milestone procedure, a partial transplant allows surgeons to tap into a supply of donor hearts that go unused due to deficiencies. This was the third open heart surgery for Elias. Following the surgery, Elias is showing remarkable improvement and his outlook remains strong. This reduced or blocked blood flow from the heart to the aorta and to the rest of the body. Despite prior surgery on the valve, the valve between the lower left heart chamber and the body’s main artery (aorta) was narrowed and didn’t open fully. Baby Elias was born with a congenital heart defect condition called transposition of the great arteries with obstruction of the part of the heart that pumps blood to the body. The 11-hour surgery was performed on 11-month-old Elias Robinson-Rodriquez. This potentially life-saving surgery can make use of a donated heart that would otherwise not be transplantable,” said Carlos Mery, M.D., MPH, surgical director of the Heart Transplant Program at Dell Children’s and Associate Professor in the Departments of Pediatrics and Surgery and Perioperative Care at Dell Med. Specialty services include pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, urogynecology, orthopedics, pain management, cardiovascular, dermatology, occupational health, rehabilitation, pulmonary and behavioral health.“Our team is excited about this procedure, it has the potential to change the paradigm of valve surgery in pediatric heart disease.
