Critical Heart Support Helps Baby Thrive
Everything went well for Iyanna King through the beginning of her first pregnancy. But when the Fresno mother-to-be attended a routine scan at about 22 weeks along, she learned her developing fetus might have a heart condition.
"I was like: 'What are you talking about?'" King says. "I was surprised, I was scared."
Her local doctors referred her to UCSF for a fetal echocardiogram, which found hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), a condition in which the left side of the heart does not fully develop at birth, affecting the flow of blood through the heart. Babies born with HLHS need surgeries to help restore heart function, meaning King would need special care for the remainder of her high-risk pregnancy and her daughter, Iris, would need multiple surgeries starting within weeks of her arrival. The Single Ventricle Home Monitoring Program at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals would be part of her care plan through the first two life-sustaining procedures she needed.
This early, vulnerable period is critical for babies like Iris because they need close observation for heart complications. Thanks to this program, many can spend this time at home with their families. READ FULL STORY HERE
