Barani S, a 6-year-old boy from Thiruvarur, Tamil Nadu, India, required specialised treatment for a congenital heart condition and underwent PTPV (Percutaneous Transluminal Pulmonary Valvuloplasty).

In 2023, Barani received specialised cardiac treatment at Apollo Hospital. PTPV is a catheter-based procedure used to widen a narrowed pulmonary valve, helping improve blood flow from the heart to the lungs and reduce strain on the heart.

Access to timely paediatric cardiac care enabled Barani to receive the specialised treatment he required. His journey highlights the importance of making advanced cardiac treatment accessible to children with congenital heart conditions and how financial assistance can help families meet the cost of essential care.
