In Groote Schuur Hospital a 26 year old Italian woman died after Christiaan Barnard grafted a baboon heart to her defective human heart. The procedure aimed to keep circulation while a human heart became available. The baboon heart proved too small and tissue matching was not possible. The patient had a chronic heart condition and valve replacement surgery extended by this transplant. The operation used a 10 hour bypass, the longest Barnard has employed. The patient died at 3 am after awakening briefly.
