The video aloft is arrant and actual graphic, assuming two hearts pumping at once. It's aswell admirable because after that added heart, a man wouldn't be alive. Tyson Smith, the man whose hearts are apparent above, went through a attenuate anaplasty that's alleged a heterotopic affection transplant. In the surgery, doctors add addition affection to the appropriate ancillary of his chest to allotment the plan and get the job done.
In Smith's case, he couldn't alter his own affection with the new one, he bare both:
"Even admitting Mr. Smith was adverse death, he could not accept a accepted affection transplant," explained Dr. Michael Madani, accessory assistant of anaplasty and co-director of the UC San Diego Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center, in the release. "Removing the old affection and replacing it with a new affection would accept acquired the new affection to abort because attrition to breeze in his lungs-called pulmonary hypertension-was so high. But together, the two hearts allotment the plan and get the job done."
Doctors say it's an abundantly attenuate action but one "worth accepting in the apparatus kit". Amazing. [LaJolla Patch—Thanks Snake Charmer!]
