The heart of a British newborn is growing outside the body. It had little hope of survival. Recently, the heart reduction operation was successful, which can be called a miracle.
Fifty minutes after she was born, the baby girl, vanelope & Middleton; Wilkins, was put on a ventilator for her first operation - intubation of her heart. A week later, doctors opened a small hole in her chest to 'open' the heart for restoration. The hole was the size of a yuan coin. Vanelope's heart is the size of a plum. For the next two weeks, her heart was completely gravity - free down the chest from the hole. Since vanelope was born without a sternum, doctors eventually sewed the chest with a suit material and covered it with skin transplanted from her armpit.
When her mother was nine weeks old, vanelope was diagnosed with a rare heart disorder, and even if her mother delivered successfully, her survival rate was almost nil. Fortunately, there seems to be no other major problem for vanelope's body except that her heart is in the body. Therefore, grenfield hospital in Leicester, UK is preparing to operate on her. The baby was due on Christmas Eve, but the hospital delivered her baby ahead of schedule by caesarean section on November 22.
Vanelope's father shared her experience with British media on the night of the 11th. Frances middot block, a paediatric cardiologist at Glenfield hospital, said vanelope is still using a ventilator and can't think about what to do next until she can breathe autonomously.
