Both recipients were brain-dead.
The team of researchers who transplanted a genetically modified pig's heart into a living human earlier this year have completed two more pig heart transplant surgeries, setting the protocol for such operations.
"Our goal is to integrate the practices used in a typical, everyday heart transplant, only with a nonhuman organ that will function normally without additional aid from untested devices or medicines," said Nader Moazami, who led the investigational procedures. In the case of Bennett, who died two months after the surgery, the transplanted organ was found to have been
