For the second time .. American surgeons plant a pork college for a living patient
American surgeons have been able to grow a genetically modified pig for a living patient for the second time, at the same time a heart pump, in a joint procedure, the first of its kind is a new important station in this area, which progresses very quickly. Animal organ transplants in human bodies, called ‘different graves’, are a potential solution for chronic organs shortage of organs, and provides hope for tens of thousands of people on the waiting list. The new operation announced on Wednesday, the Langon Hospital at the University of New York, and Dr. Robert Montgomery, who did the college transplant, said at a press conference: ‘We have gathered two wonders of modern medicine in a new way and describe the process as’ an important new step in the way to secure the important organs of all those who need it. The patient was Lesa Pisano, who underwent the 54 -year surgery, suffered from heart and kidney failure, and it was not possible to plant a heart pump for her because the death rate is very high among people who underwent dialysis and had pump transplants, but she also had levels of antibodies; She could have waited for years to have the opportunity to get a human college. Due to her heart, it was not expected to survive only a few weeks, according to the doctors, and Bishano, who descended from New Jersey, said: ‘I tried everything .. When I had the opportunity, I decided to take her to her,’ to add of her hospital bed: ‘I said in the worst case, if the matter would not work with the next person.’ The heart pump transplant (or ventricular aid device) was exported on April 4, and the total transplant process was 12 of the same month. A genetic amendment, and dr. Montgomery expressed his satisfaction that “any mark” has not yet appeared after about two weeks of implantation to the response of the patient’s immune system to the invader member, a problem that such operations usually face. He explained that the pig was subjected to a single genetic amendment to reduce this danger, and for the first time the pig’s thyroid, a member who plays an important role in the immune system. Massachusetts GM Hospital announced in Boston in March last year that it had performed the first genetically modified pork transplanting for a living patient, and that he had previously carried out kidney transplants of genetically modified pigs for brain threats. The patients in the neighborhood also previously underwent a genetically modified heart transplant, but they later left life. These operations, described as ‘compassionate’, were paved with larger clinical experiences in the future, and dr. Montgomery said: “We are clearly progressing very quickly to clinical experiences, and perhaps faster than we thought.”
