First Heart Transplant Patient Dies After New Heart Fails
Europe’s first heart transplant patient from Cape Town dies after the new heart fails. Dr Christian Barnard’s team reports the graft functioned briefly but blood pressure and brain circulation drop lead to death. Roblain, 66, had the world’s seventh live-heart transplant. Doctors plan further attempts as Mercadier notes ongoing anti rejection measures.
