Rothblatt M. Commentary on achievement of first life-saving xenoheart transplant. Xenotransplantation 2022; 29:e12746. [PMID: 35471736 DOI: 10.1111/xen.12746] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2022] [Revised: 03/20/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Two months of post-transplant survival were achieved in an end-stage heart disease patient with a porcine heart from a pig whose genome had been modified in 10 of its genes. This first-ever life-saving cardiac xenotransplantation was the result of decades of work and close coordination by researchers in genetic engineering, animal cloning, immunology, ex vivo organ perfusion, and thoracic surgery.
