In the video, although they do not speak the patient’s name, the students Gabrielli Farias de Souza (In the video, with blond hair) and Thaís Soares Foffano Boilers (In the video, to the right, with dark hair) mention the three cardiac transplants, as well as indicating when they were made – in childhood, adolescence and early age, which coincides with the case of victory.
The exhibition revolted the patient’s sister, Giovana Chaves dos Santos, and their mother, Claudia Aparecida da Rocha Chaves. And they called the Public Prosecution Service of São Paulo (), besides the Incor.
“We always followed the victory. We knew how much she struggled to live, right? So much so that there is a lot of craft in the prosecution of us asking for help with medication, with passage to come in treatment. She never missed an appointment, right? And my daughter was thirsty for life. Metropolis.
Want the students to portray publicly, just as they exposed and mocking the patient. Neither the students nor the defenses were located by the report. The space is still open to demonstrations.
Victory
When housewife Cláudia Chaves was seven months pregnant, she went to her daughter’s ultrasound and heard from the doctor who attended her bluntly, which she interpreted as the child’s death sentence. The still fetus was diagnosed with anomaly of Ebstein, which is a rare and incurable cardiac defect, characterized by the malformation of the heart valves.
“The doctor said that, after birth, she would not be giving 15 days. But God is bigger, spent 15 days, she stayed in an incubator and survived,” said Claudia, currently 40 years.
Symbolically, the housewife decided to baptize her daughter with the name of. She was born on August 31, 1998 in Luziânia (GO), city around Brasilia.
Contrary to medical prognosis, and living up to the name, Vitória Chaves da Silva grew and, at 2, had to have a repair surgery of a heart valve. The procedure was performed in Goiânia (GO), but had no effect. Therefore, she had to go to Sao Paulo in 2004, when she was 6 years old.
At Incor, in São Paulo, the medical team found that the girl would need a transplant. She spent four months in line and on March 5, 2005, she was subjected to the first heart replacement.
Two more transplants
After the first transplant, Victoria returned with her mother to Luziânia, where she led a normal life for 11 years. During this period, the young woman had a monthly return marathon between a hospital in Goiânia and the Incor of São Paulo, a common maintenance routine for patients who underwent transplants.
However, after 11 years, the young woman started to feel sick, feeling very tired and having fainting. In 2026, he was hospitalized again, also with a problem in one of the kidneys. He underwent a new hemodialysis, and at the time doctors said she would need a second heart transplant.
Vitória waited for three months, until a compatible donor emerged. The most delicate procedure was performed in 2016.
After the second transplant, the young woman’s body had 10 episodes of rejection, which caused her to be taken to the hospital on all occasions. Already in Sao Paulo, exams found that her heart had two coronary veins closed completely. She would need a third transplant, a procedure that was performed in 2023.
Exhibition
The posting of medical students, made on February 17, was viewed for just over 212,000 people.
“A heart transplant is already bureaucratic, it is rare, there is the issue of waiting, compatibility, a thousand questions involved. Now, a person undergoing a transplant three times, this is real and happened here at Incor and this patient is hospitalized here,” said Thaís Foffano.
During the video conversation, the two students attribute the sequence of procedures to assume that Victoria would not have been careful and correctly taken the medicines after the procedures, information refuted by the patient’s family members.
