Quick Glance: Revolutionary Transplant: Heart Pump and Pig Kidney
  • The first transplant surgery combining a mechanical heart pump and a gene-edited pig kidney was successfully performed at NYU Langone Health.

  • The patient, 54-year-old Lisa Pisano from New Jersey, received the heart pump and pig kidney due to heart failure and end-stage kidney disease.

  • Experts view xenotransplants as crucial to addressing organ shortages by transplanting animal organs into humans.

  • Gene editing aims to prevent the human immune system from rejecting the animal organs, facilitating successful transplantations.
