Historic heart transplant surgery changes life hopes
Block underwent two bold procedures to support a small donor heart with an auxiliary balloon pump as doctors faced pumping challenges. The operation, led by Kantrowitz and aided by a device from Avco, followed a neighbor’s note of it being Block’s 15th hospitalization. Helen Kronecharly’s story paralleled the tragedy as her brain tumor ended her life after she wished to save another. In Stanford, Kasperak’s donated heart showed normal function and improving signs as doctors reported stable vitals and resumed activity at the bedside.
