Correct Option

In February 2005, Dr. V. Mohan Reddy, an Indian-born pediatric cardiac surgeon working in the U.S.A., achieved a significant medical milestone.

This complex surgery is performed to correct Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA), a severe congenital heart defect. The remarkable aspect of this case was the extremely low birth weight of the infant, making it one of the smallest patients to successfully undergo such a high-risk cardiac operation.
