A newborn girl born with her heart outside her chest survived a high-risk surgery and doctors are “very optimistic” about her chances for a long, healthy life.
Audrina Cardenes was recovering at Texas Children's Hospital after being born five weeks earlier with a rare and normally fatal condition called ectopia cordis.
According to the hospital’s official blog, the condition is where a baby’s heart is located either partially or totally outside the chest.
