印度中部恰蒂斯加尔邦科尔巴镇上日前诞生了一名女婴，人们发现她的心脏长在了体外，且被一只手紧紧攥住不放。医生们正在全力挽救这个女婴的生命。

    据路透社11月13日报道，高级医生S·K·帕姆布霍伊当日说，“在这名女婴的脖子与锁骨之间存在着一个发育完好的体外心脏。她在出生时用自己的右手紧紧抓住了这颗心脏。”该医生表示，医生们已将女婴的右手与其心脏分开，但如果不立即进行相应的外科手术的话，这名出生在穷苦家庭里的女婴会马上死去。帕姆布霍伊说：“眼下最佳治疗方法是通过外科手术将心脏放回体内并固定于一个恰当的位置。心脏如果老是待在体外的话，发生感染的可能性极大，所以手术已到了刻不容缓的地步。”但由于家庭经济原因，她的父母目前还没有能力支付手术所需费用。

    Indian doctors are struggling to save a baby girl born with an external heart which she was holding in one of her hands at the time of her birth, a doctor said on Sunday.

    "The baby has a fully developed external heart between her neck and collar bone. She was holding her heart in her right hand when born," S.K. Pambhoi, a senior government doctor, told Reuters.

    Doctors said they separated the hand from the heart, but the baby born to a poor family in Korba town in the central state of Chhattisgarh on Friday would die if she did not have immediate surgery.

    "Her heart is connected to the inner body through arteries and veins. Surgery is the best option to insert her heart and fix it at the right place," Pambhoi said.

    "There is a strong possibility of the heart getting infected, so a quick operation is needed."

    Doctors said her parents were too poor to afford surgery.
