French Heart Transplant Patient Dies in Paris
Europe's first heart transplant patient Clovis Roblain, a 66 year old French truck driver, died 51 hours after receiving a heart from a 23 year old donor. Doctors cited brain blood insufficiency despite a functioning transplanted heart. Roblain had undergone a nine hour operation Saturday night and was pronounced dead at 10:30 a.m. The team led by Dr Maurice Mercadier said the case shows a transplant is technically possible but requires a patient with stronger resistance to survive.
