The second person who received a genetically modified pig's heart transplant has died. This happened six weeks after American surgeons performed the historic surgery.
David Bennett, 57, died Tuesday at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Doctors didn’t give an exact cause of death, saying only that his condition had begun deteriorating several days earlier.
On Monday, Bennett was breathing on his own while still connected to a heart-lung machine to help his new heart. The next few weeks will be critical as Bennett recovers from the surgery and doctors carefully monitor how his heart is faring.
Manish Agarwal, Joint Commissioner, Delhi Traffic Police told India TV that his team swung into action as soon as they were informed about a live heart is to be transported from the airport to the hospital.
A heart harvested from a brain-dead teenager in Jaipur was flown to Delhi airport and then in just 17 minutes sent to a private hospital here for a transplant surgery through a nearly 18-km green corridor set up amid the festive season rush.
Dr Yadav said the heart was transplanted to a male patient, one kidney each to a female and male patient at the hospital itself whereas the liver was sent to NIMS Hospital by forming a green corridor.
A statement from Fortis Hospital in suburban Mulund, where the transplant took place, said that the operation was successful and the girl, a resident of Jalna, was under observation.
The 14-month-old toddler suffered a brain haemorrhage when he fell down the stairs while playing with his elder sister.
