World First Partial Heart Transplant Is Growing With a Baby (www.sciencealert.com)

The first baby to undergo a partial heart transplant will hopefully be spared repeated heart surgeries as the implanted tissue is growing with him – an outcome that has never been seen before in humans.

Surgeons made history in 2022 when they stitched heart valves and vessels taken from a donor infant into the heart of transplant recipient Owen Monroe when he was just 18 days old.

This technique of salvaging native heart tissue and only using the living donor tissue to replace defective parts had never been trialed in humans before.

Just wait until someone posts an archive.org link? Nevermind that I didn't even see any pop-ups or pop-over ads when I read the article, but here: https://web.archive.org/web/20240128113926/https://www.sciencealert.com/world-first-partial-heart-transplant-is-growing-with-a-baby

There should also be a Lemmy feature request for user blocking of domains floating around, but for me its buried in other search results.
