"We found out that as this heart grew with her body there was a small hole in the heart in the transplant," said Dr. Amr Mohsen, from the Loma Linda University Medical Center."When she was that young looks like over the years this hole grew in size."

Hoff says that computer imaging shows how that device closes the hole allowing for the heart to pump strong and normal."This problem is over," Hoff said."This hole is closed and she can go living and not have to worry about it."
