Saw this article in local newspapers today with one notable exception. Found it in another article linked in the above apnews article.
The most ambitious attempt so far came in January, when doctors at the University
of Maryland Medical Center transplanted a pig heart into a dying 57-year-old.
David Bennett survived for two months, evidence that xenotransplantation was at
least possible. But initial testing missed that the organ harbored an animal virus.
What caused Bennett’s new heart to fail and whether that virus played any role still
isn’t known, the Maryland researchers recently reported in the New England Journal of
Medicine.
