Huang Rongming, from Henan province in China, underwent life-changing surgery to correct heart a defect and move the organ away from his abdomen and into his ribcage.





He had lived with the rare condition for 24 years until a doctor told him his condition was rapidly deteriorating and that he required urgent surgery.

Mr Rongming could not afford the procedure, that would place his heart in his chest, as it should be, but media coverage of his condition enabled him to undergo to life-changing operation.
‘It’s a dream come true. I’m going to lead a normal life like everyone else,’ he told ChinaDaily.



Before surgery, Mr Rongming’s heart could clearly be seen pumping underneath a thin layer of skin and bulging out from his upper belly.

Mr Rongming’s parents admitted they were anxious when he was a little boy and said that he was not allowed to play with other children for fear that he would have an accident and die. As farmers they could not afford for him to have surgery

Mr Rongming has now undergone life-changing surgery and his heart is in hischest


His parents admitted they were anxious when he was a boy and said that he was not allowed to play with other children for fear that he would die.


The condition made the young Mr Rongming vulnerable to breathlessness andturning blue if he stood up as well as sudden death if his heart was knocked.




As farmers they could not afford for him to have surgery, however.

The surgery lasted more than 10 hours and was entirely successful. His abdomen is now flat and his heart defect fixed.
