Unique Infant Heart Defect

I came across this article while researching for the device design project. A boy named Zachary Davis was born with a heart defect that puzzled doctors. His coronary arteries formed incorrectly and sent blood to the brain instead of directly to the heart. A normal aorta is just one large tube that makes an arch, but Zachary's branched out. A four hour surgery thankfully corrected the condition. You can check out the details at:
