Doctors Perform Largest Mass Transplant In History
A 57-year-old donor's liver heart eyes and two kidneys were transplanted into six patients at Memorial Hospital and New York Hospitals. The heart went to a 36-year-old man, kidneys to a 19-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman, with two recipients also receiving eyes and remaining organs. Dr C Walton Lillehei led the operations, marking the first cross‑hospital heart transplant with donor and recipients in different facilities. The donor died of an inoperable brain tumor and details on names were not released. The liver transplant went to a 27-year-old woman with cancer destroying her liver.
