Ichika is an open-minded and curious little girl. She loves animals, especially dogs. Shortly after her 1st birthday, Ichika's doctors diagnosed a slight enlargement of the left heart ventricle.

Her condition worsens rapidly and finally the physicians decide to implant EXCOR® Pediatric.

"I feel nothing but gratitude for the life-saving support of our daughter because of EXCOR® Pediatric. Ichika's condition is improving daily, she jumps on her bed, she learns to speak and is developing very well" says Maho Ueda, Ichika's mother.
