RARE in Italy/ Born with half a heart, the 36-year-old becomes the mother of

Born 36 years ago without a ventricle in her heart, she has now become the mother of twins, this is one of the 4 rare cases in the world and the first happened in Italy.

The extraordinary event took place in Rome, thanks to the determination of the young woman and the joint work of the specialists of the Bambino Gesù Pediatric Hospital, who have helped her since childhood due to severe congenital heart disease, and the Gemelli University Hospital, where the operation was performed caesarean section.

The health of the mother of two children, a boy and a girl, is doing well, while the Italian media have conveyed her emotions.

"I knew I was risking a lot with half a heart, but I wanted to be a mother. The birth of twins was an indescribable emotion."

The twins, both weighing 1.4 kg, were delivered by caesarean section at the Gemelli Polyclinic in the 34th week of pregnancy, a few days before the expected date of birth.

After only ten days of hospitalization, according to the Bambino Gesù Hospital, the mother and children were able to return home.

The mother of twins was born with a heart missing the right ventricle, the part of the heart muscle that pushes blood to the lungs for oxygenation.

It is a complex congenital heart disease that requires a series of corrective interventions within the first years of life.

In this specific case, the Bambino Gesù patient underwent a single operation at the age of 4 to construct an alternative circulation system, called Fontan, which brings blood from the vein directly to the lungs, without passing through the heart. This condition subjects the organism to continuous overwork.

Circulation supported by a single ventricle requires lifelong therapy and strict monitoring; in 5% of cases the transplant is achieved.

In the absence of other complications, according to the indications of international protocols on this matter, it is possible to undertake the maternity route.
