Patient who received genetically modified pig heart in groundbreaking transplant surgery dies By Carma Hassan and Katherine Dillinger, CNN Updated 1553 GMT (2353 HKT) March 9, 2022 Hear from doctors who transplanted a genetically modified pig heart to a man Hear from doctors who transplanted a genetically modified pig heart to a man 02:06 (CNN)A 57-year-old Maryland man who had received a genetically modified pig heart in a first-of-its-kind transplant surgery has died, the University of Maryland Medical Center said Wednesday. David Bennett died on Tuesday after his condition began to deteriorate several days ago, the medical center said. He was given palliative care and was able to communicate with his family during his final hours, according to the news release. Bennett had terminal heart disease, and had received a transplant on January 7. Bennett was deemed ineligible for a conventional heart transplant or an artificial heart pump after reviews of his medical records, and the pig heart was the only available option, the medical center said at the time. Revivicor, a regenerative medicine company based in Virginia, had provided the heart. Three genes that are responsible for rejection of pig organs by human immune systems were removed from the donor pig, and one gene was taken out to prevent excessive pig heart tissue growth. Six human genes responsible for immune acceptance were inserted. The medical center said the transplanted heart performed well for several weeks without any sign of rejection. SOURCE: CNN 1 Like

Really painful loss. Just when he'd started enjoying his pig heart. But why give him a pig's heart instead a chimp's heart cos chimp's are our closest relatives in the animal kingdom? God pass all these I-too-know oyibo doctors. |
