In a Canadian first = the first heart surgery in utero in the world was carried out in a Canadian?
Context:
Heart Surgery in Utero
In a Canadian first, a team of doctors at The Hospital for Sick Children(SickKids) and Mount Sinai Hospital successfully performed life-saving heart surgery on a baby still in her mother's womb.
@oristarA,
It's the first time such medical procedure was performed in Canada.
@tsarstepan,
It looks like the first time that procedure in the history of surgery was performed was in a Boston hospital in 2006.
