Vietnam conducts first solo heart transplant
Published: 09/03/2011 05:00
Vietnam successfully performed its first human heart transplant, without foreign assistance, in the central province of Thua Thien-Hue city on Wednesday (March 2). The five-hour surgery was conducted by Bui Duc Phu, director of Hue Central Hospital, with assistance from nearly 100 hospital staff. The patient, 26-year-old Tran Mau Duc, received the heart from a brain dead donor. He regained consciousness seven hours after the transplant. Last June, the Hanoi-based Vietnam Military Medical University successfully conducted the first human heart transplant with support from the Taiwanese-owned Cheng Hsin Hospital. Since August 2005, the hospital had performed numerous trials on pigs. The world’s first human heart transplant was performed in 1967. Reported by Bui Ngoc Long |
