While a baby was still attached via the umbilical cord, doctors attached a pacemaker to the baby's heart

While a baby was still attached via the umbilical cord, doctors attached a pacemaker to the baby's heart Researchers completed the first-ever EXIT (Ex Utero Intrapartum Treatment) to ventricular pacing procedure. The patient, a 36-week fetus with complete atrioventricular block and cardiac dysfunction, was at high risk of pre-term death. While attached to its mother via umbilical cord, the baby received a temporary pacemaker, which stabilized its dangerously low and irregular heart rate and ensured enough blood flow from the heart to the rest of its body for delivery. http://ift.tt/eA8V8J
