Donor Heart Transplant Performed In Urgent Emergency
Drummond, in critical but stable condition after receiving the heart, faces 75 to 80 percent one-year survival and about 50 percent five-year survival. Dr. Copeland notes the team views the transplant as not yet a true bridge until the outcome is proven, while experts see potential for future artificial heart use. The procedure followed a donor heart from Griffin arriving by helicopter after a 2:28 a.m. transplant operation at University Medical Center.
