A Wednesday of Wins! (Part 2) - Heart Valve Operation
/Here's a mid-week miracle -- one of our Club Directors, Dr. Gerb Ignacio, successfully performed a triple heart valve operation on one patient under our Alay Buhay Heart Valve Program. The patient was a young mother of a 2-year old child. Dr. Gerb had to change two valves -- the aortic valve and mitral valve -- because of an infection in the area; and then fix another valve, the tricuspid valve of the patient. The operation took a gruelling 6 hours and we are so relieved and delighted that our patient is now in stable condition!
Thank you and congratulations for your wonderful work, Dr. Gerb! And thank you to everyone who have made this possible!
