The doctors of the Gaslini pediatric hospital in Genoa reconstructed the heart of a 21-month-old girl from Northern Italy suffering from a serious malformation from birth that in other hospitals had been considered incorrigible. The possibility of a double heart-lung transplant was also rejected. Congenital heart disease was corrected, the girl was discharged with the prospect of a normal life.

"Today our daughter is a child who begins to live again – these are her parents' words – she breathes independently, starts eating real food, starts playing, hugs us. There are no words to thank the gaslini: here our daughter was born "Another time! After so much suffering," they tell us, "we were faced with the sole prospect of seeing her live in pain, without ever leaving the hospitals, without a real life, always in fear of seeing her die at any moment. hope, but we never lost it ".
