先天性の重い心臓病を患った２歳の男児が、左心室と右心室を修復する世界初の手術に成功し、１９日に兵庫県立こども病院（神戸市）を退院した。母親は「心配で仕方なかった。ゆっくりでいいから成長してくれたらいいな」と笑顔を見せた。
　男児は出生前の画像診断で心臓に異変が見つかった。生後、大動脈弁欠損や大動脈弓離断症など四つの先天的疾患があると診断され、生まれた翌日から４回にわたる手術を受けた。
　大動脈弁欠損は、心臓内で血液の逆流を防ぐ弁が生まれつき欠損している難病で、病院によると１９７５年以降、報告されたのは世界で２２例。手術が成功したのは今回３例目で、世界で初めて左心室と右心室両方が修復され、健康な心臓とほとんど同じ血液循環を可能にした。
　執刀した大嶋手術部長は「技術的に難しい手術ではないが、早期かつ正確な診断のおかげで救うことができた」と話し、父親は「助けていただいてありがとうという感謝の気持ちでいっぱい」とうれしそうに語った。本当に良かったですね。こんな所にも医学の進歩を感じられますね。
