Complex: Surgery needs to be performed in a highly specialized center for cardiac surgery, it is a complex surgery involving several stages, or ultimately a heart transplant, either way, life long follow up is needed, so unless the funds and other support means are available, as social/emotional support, life won't be easy for the child or the family, good luck

Maybe there ?: My oldest HLH patient is now a married 27 yo cardiac clinic nurse.Her road to health has been complex, and it was truly the skill of a lot of fine surgeons and cardiologists that kept her going when things looked bad. She was on the transplant list for a while.Thirty years ago, we were at the point where your doctors seem to be.
