On January 7, David Bennett, a 57-year-old from Baltimore, Maryland, U.S. became the first person to receive a heart transplant from a genetically-modified pig. Surgeons at the University of Maryland Medical Center transplanted the porcine heart into Mr. Bennett suffering from terminal heart failure.
Dr. Mohiuddin and his team used pigs genetically modified to avoid stimulating organ rejection. They also developed an immune-suppressing drug procedure to help ensure the host body did not reject the pig hearts.
Dr. Griffin, Dr. Mohiuddin, and their team reportedly spent the last 30 years fine-tuning the surgical techniques for this transplant they conducted earlier this month.
