On May 21, 2019, a girl from the city of Kupyansk, Kharkiv region, was hospitalized in the children's department of the Heart Institute of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. Ksenia Maksimova, who was born on December 04, 2011. The girl has a congenital heart defect - an open arterial duct. Ksenia needs endovascular closure of the patent ductus arteriosus with a cardiac implant - the Nit-Occlud PDA spiral system, which costs 68480 UAH.
Denis Yurievich Maksimov, the girl's father, asked the Foundation to help him purchase expensive consumables for his eldest daughter. The Foundation launched the project «Ksenia's heart is waiting for your help!». We have posted information about the girl and all the necessary supporting documents on our website and Facebook page.
Our friend and partner ICF «International Charitable Foundation in honor of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary» responded to help the little girl's heart. Thanks to them, the necessary heart implant was purchased and transferred to the Heart Institute. Our heartfelt gratitude to them!
On May 23, 2019, at the State Institution «Heart Institute of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine», Ksenia Maksimova underwent X-ray endovascular closure of the patent ductus arteriosus. The postoperative period was uneventful, and on May 24, the girl was discharged home in a satisfactory condition and good mood. As a souvenir, Ksenia presented us with a beautiful drawing. Thank you very much!
We, along with Ksenia, her parents and younger sister Veronika, are grateful to the International Charitable Foundation in honor of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos, which provided the necessary consumables to eliminate the girl's congenital heart defect.
We wish Ksenia and her family good health, all the best and a peaceful sky.
