Three-Day-Old Infant Is Alive
As Doctor Undecided To Go
Ahead With Operation
(By The Associated Press')
EDMONTON, Alberta, July 14,
—Physicians considered today
whether to operate on a three
day old boy whose heart is ful
ly exposed and protrudes from
his body.
He was born to Mrs. Fred Sa
donek of Wasel, 92 miles north
east of here, and weighed eight
pounds. The birth was normal in
all respects except that the heart
and heart muscles thump against
his chin, its only covering being
the pericardium or outer coat of
the heart. The exposed portion
is two inches wide by three in
ches long. ,
Drew Svarich, attending physi
cian said that an artificial chest
wall may be grafted over the
heart but the operation may be
fatal.
“It will mean a tremendous
amount of grafting to the ribs
and outer skins” he said.
The heart is covered at inter
vals with a solution to keep it
moist, as it mould deteriorate if
left exposed to the air.
The mother, who aready has
had six children, is in a satisfact
ory condition. Her husband is a
farm laborer near here.
