Heart Transplant Pioneer Barnard Fails Baboon Heart
Cape Town AP report on Christiaan Barnard's attempt to save a 26 year old Italian woman with a baboon heart transplant ending in her death. Barnard said the baboon heart was too small to sustain circulation and noted the two had the same blood type but tissue matching was not possible. The patient had a chronic heart condition and the valve replacement surgery was expanded to attempt to boost circulation.
