This is the 3rd episode in our Medical Monday mini-series for Heart Month, February 2023.
 
 What pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon seemed "too Hollywood"? Why? What is cross circulation and what was this experimental technique the predecessor of?
 
 This Medical Monday episode deals with an amazing experimental surgical technique developed by Dr. C. Walton Lillehei. Frank and Anna Jaworski talk about what they learned about this procedure in the book King of Hearts by Rhode Island writer, G. Wayne Miller.

Dr. C. Walton Lillehei used cross circulation on 45 patients in the 1950s to operate on children with congenital heart defects. These children would have died without some form of surgical intervention. Not all of his surgeries were successful using this experimental technique, but it is amazing how many of his patients did survive! This technique was used on the first successful surgery to correct ventricular septal defect, atrioventricular canal defect, and tetralogy of Fallot.

Thanks to the work done by Dr. C. Walton Lillehei, and the development of the bubble oxygenator, he has become known as The Father of Open-Heart Surgery. We hope you enjoy this special episode of Heart to Heart with Anna.

This is the 3rd episode in our CHD Spotlight mini-series and we'll be talking about Tetralogy of Fallot.

Our expert Guest is Roslyn Rivera and she is a pediatric cardiology nurse who was also born with a congenital heart defect. In this episode, Roslyn shares with Anna what tetralogy of Fallot is, who coined the term for this complex congenital heart condition, what methods are used to palliate the condition, what some possible causes of the condition are, and survival rates for babies born with ToF.

In the second segment, Roslyn even shares the name of a famous athlete born with ToF, proving that ToF doesn't have to mean that a person will have an inferior life and that there is great hope for babies born with this heart condition today.

Why might a father get a tattoo to resemble his daughter's open-heart surgery chest scar? How could getting a tattoo like that change his life? What does being an advocate for the CHD community mean to Matt Backe?

Matt Backe is married to his wife Laura and together they have a 10-year-old son Jack and a 4-year-old daughter named Everly, who was born with a critical heart defect. Matt went viral on the internet after having a scar tattoo on his chest to match Everly's so she wouldn't feel alone. His wife Lauren followed suit the same day, getting an EKG tattoo on her left arm. Their unique tattoos help them to raise awareness of CHD and remind other families that they are not alone. The Backes live in Crystal Lake, Illinois, where Matt is a commercial insurance salesperson and Lauren stays home to take care of the family's needs. Everly attends preschool and loves to dance. They recently celebrated her's half birthday with a trip to Disney on Ice.

In this episode of "Heart to Heart with Anna," Matt shares with Anna why he got a tattoo of a scar on his chest, how a video of that went viral, and what it means to be a Heart Dad and a Heart Ambassador.

How can a person’s spirituality help her when it comes to coping with her congenital heart defect? What spiritual practices can help Heart Warriors? Why would a Heart Warrior be willing to talk about her spirituality?

Allison  Holmes was born in 1972 with seven heart defects, and she is also a cancer survivor. She has been evaluated twice for the heart and lung transplant list but is not on the list at this time. Since Allison has Situs Inversus, doctors are not sure how to hook up a healthy heart and lungs to the rest of her organs. At present, her heart condition seems to be stable, but she is dealing with pulmonary hypertension. She works as an ESL tutor from home and volunteers with Meals on Wheels and Carolina Waterfowl Rescue. She is also an Adult Congenital Heart Association Ambassador for North Carolina. Allison feels that her spiritual beliefs have helped her through her CHD journey.   

In the first segment, we’ll meet Allison and discover a little bit more about her health journey. The 2nd Segment will involve us learning more about how her spirituality has helped her on that journey and in the last segment, we will learn about Allison’s future.
