A baby of 45 days old weighing just 1 kg underwent a complicated heart surgery in the Shymkent city perinatal center, Kazinform News Agency reports.
The baby boy was born at the 25th week of gestation, about 28 cm long and weighing 655 grams. He was diagnosed with a congenital heart disorder - open arterial duct, and respiratory distress syndrome.
As soon as the baby gained a weight of 1 kg, he was operated on.
Doctors say the baby is in critical but stable condition and is being constantly monitored.
Recall that a 72 yo man successfully underwent a giant lung tumor surgery in Almaty last year.
