Who was transplanted patient who was the victim of mocked by students

The São Paulo Civil Police opened a police inquiry to investigate medical students who published a video in which they mock a patient. The young woman, Vitória Chaves da Silva, 26, died in late February this year after four transplants and the daily struggle to live with heart disease considered serious .

Vitória was born with a disease in his heart. Congenital heart disease was diagnosed as Epstein anomaly rare disease that affects the heart valve.

Heart malformation can cause cardiac complications such as arrhythmias and embolism when a vase is obstructed and prevents blood passage. The disease has no cure and patients like victory resort to transplants.

In 2005, at the age of 16, Vitória held the first heart transplant. The young woman stayed for eleven years with the transplanted organ until she had a disease in the coronary, arteries and veins that irrigate the heart muscle.

The second heart transplant took place in 2016 and, in June 2023, Vitória published on social networks that he was in line for the third transplant. This time, there was a dysfunction of the coronary and the medical team said it would be a fight against time, according to the public’s publication.

In 2023, Vitória made a kidney transplant for cardiac treatment overload and, in January last year, held the third heart transplant at the Heart Institute (Incor) of the Hospital das Clínicas of the USP School of Medicine (FMUSP).

The young woman was admitted to the health unit for about year and nine months until she died after a septic shock and chronic kidney failure on February 28 this year.

Victoria was in “deep suffering” according to her sister’s publication on social networks. She also said that her sister had been fighting for 26 years and asks that “the beautiful trajectory of victory is not stained by two people who did not know a third of her story.”

Police investigate the case

The young women should be investigated for injury by the 14th Police District in Pinheiros, in the West Zone of São Paulo.
