According to Dr. Kaushal, the disease is controlled by BT Shunt Procedure and the surgery is performed after two to three years. But it is a life threatening situations for the patient in these two to three years. The VSD of the child was closed in such a way in the surgery that the pure blood from the left ventricle was joined with aorta with a tunnel-like tube. When the blood flow became normal then the path of blood flow was corrected from the right ventricle from the side of the lungs.  

Why it was a challenge - 

The child of Virendra Singh Rathore and Renu Rathore from Bhilwara was just 44 days old. The arteries, heart, and ventricular muscles were very small for the doctors to operate. Also, the small age of child was another factor in bearing the complicated operation. Dr. Rajeev Lochan Tiwari gave the anaesthesia. According to Pratim Tamboli of Fortis hospital, this is the first surgery of TOF at such a small age not only in the state but also in the country.
