A surgical team transplanted a heart from a genetically modified pig into a deceased human as part of a study, researchers with NYU Langone Health announced
The procedure was the first of its kind and represents an advance in efforts to determine whether organs in non-human animals can be modified and successfully used in humans in need of a transplant. The 72-year-old recipient, Lawrence Kelly of Pennsylvania, had been declared brain-dead. His family donated his body for the study, which aimed to investigate how well the modified pig heart worked in a deceased human's body.
Moazami suggested that transplants from animals might someday be useful in the pediatric setting, where patients can face even greater challenges getting a human organ transplant in time. Animal organs could be used as a"bridge," buying time before a more optimal human organ becomes available.
