The Soviet surgeon Demikhov reports a marmoset named Chita survived five weeks with all human blood. He envisions transplanting monkey organs to humans to aid damaged hearts and argues animal organs could relieve graft rejection. He notes steps include replacing monkey blood with human blood, temporarily linking organs, then final transplantation. He cites past dog head grafts and calls for extensive experiments before clinical use.
