One month after experimental pig heart transplant, doctors say they see no signs of rejection or infection::One month after an experimental procedure to transplant the heart of a genetically modified pig into a patient with end-stage heart disease, doctors say the heart is functioning on its own and shows no signs of rejection.
The last guy died after 2 months and didn’t show any signs of rejection either… I wouldn’t break out the party yet.
That’s because he happened to get a verry treatable infection but was already immunocompromised. The pig heart was never the issue

That’s true, but he may very well have died due to a virus the tissue was infected with. There’s no sign this heart has the same issue.
