    Extractions: WEB SERVICES: WASHINGTON (Reuters) It is too soon to start experimenting with animal-to-human transplants of hearts or lungs because the procedure is still far too risky, an international transplant group said on Friday. Although taking organs from farm animals such as pigs offers the possibility of an almost limitless supply, the organs still do not work well in people and there is too big a chance that an unknown virus could pass into the human population, the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation said.

    Modified versions of the Aids virus are being used in experiments to prevent the rejection of transplanted organs.

    Extractions: BBC News Online science staff in Leicester An attempt is being made to use a harmless version of HIV to help prevent the rejection of transplanted hearts. The virus, which causes Aids, is dangerous precisely because it has the great ability to integrate its own genetic material into that of ordinary non-dividing cells. Researchers at Cambridge University, UK, are exploiting this feature to get genes into a donated organ that will tell the body's immune system not to attack it. If they can make the approach work, it could substantially improve the survivability of transplant patients. The technique is also being tested by other groups on brain and liver cells - major targets for the treatment of disease and in particular genetic disease. "I'd much rather HIV didn't exist but it has given us a unique property which is the capability of delivering genes into particular cells," Dr Andrew Lever told the BBC.

    Extractions: It is 25 years since the first successful heart transplant was carried out in the UK. BBC News Online looks back on this medical milestone. Gordon underwent surgery in 1979 Gordon MacDonald is one of the UK's longest surviving heart transplant patient. He underwent surgery in 1979. His heart was failing and he was critically ill. "Life was very difficult," he says. "I was only 40 years old. I had young children. I had everything to live for. "But I was very ill. My life was ebbing away." Doctors offered Gordon a heart transplant. It was a gamble. There was no guarantee it would save his life. The procedure had only been carried out on a small number of patients around the world, with mixed results. Gordon jumped at the chance. "I was absolutely delighted," he says.

    Extractions: Thank you for joining us Dr. Oz. To begin with, please review the status of heart transplantation today in order to help us understand why we need artificial hearts and ventricular assist devices. A: Let's begin with ventricular assist devices or VADs. What is a VAD? How does it work and when is it used? A: A VAD is a ventricular assist device. LVADs assist the pumping on the left side of the heart, and RVADs assist pumping on the right side. Most patients are dying of left heart failure, the thicker chamber that pumps blood to the entire body. When the heart is unable to pump blood to the head, kidney, arms and legs, we find the muscle can be replaced best by leaving the heart in place and putting in a kind of piggy back heart, an assist device that can perform this role of the heart, without having to remove the heart. LVAD use has become a fairly common procedure. Can you tell us how these devices have evolved?

49. Heart Transplant
    heart transplantation is a surgical procedure to remove a damaged or diseased heart and replace it with a healthy donor heart.

Drug Library Drug Information Drug Search Drug Interactions Image Database Pill Identifier Description: Heart transplants are the fourth most common (corneas, kidneys and liver are the most common) transplant operations in the U.S. (over 2,200 cases per year). A healthy heart is obtained from a donor who has suffered brain death but remains on life-support. The healthy heart is transported in a special solution that preserves the organ. While the patient is deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia), an incision is made through the breast bone (sternum). The patient's blood is re-routed through tubes to a heart-lung bypass machine to keep the blood oxygen-rich and circulating. The patient's diseased heart is removed and the donor heart is stitched in place.

    Extractions: Search September 9, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Procedures A pioneering heart surgeon, Dr Christiaan Barnard, performed the first successful human-to-human heart transplant operation in 1967 in Cape Town, South Africa. Unfortunately, early operations resulted in problems such as infection and rejection, and heart recipients did not survive very long. With advances in technique and development of new drugs to suppress the immune system, more than 70% of transplant recipients currently survive more than 3 years. The problem now is a severe shortage of donor hearts in the United States. Each year, thousands of people are waiting for a heart. About 35% of them die before a heart becomes available. Only about 2,000 heart transplants are done each year in North America, the major reason is lack of donors.

    Extractions: Because of the age of his mother (35) and the heart disease of two close relatives, a series of three fetal echocardiograms was performed. This technique, a specialized form of diagnostic ultrasound, uses high-frequency sound waves to create pictures of the inside of the body. It is used for diagnostic studies on pregnant women to avoid the risks of using X rays. The last two "echos" showed that the baby had hypoplastic left-heart syndrome (HLHS, a lethal underdevelopment of the left side of the heart).

    Extractions: Nearly 30 years after the world's first heart transplant was performed, Professor M C Botha, an immunologist who worked closely with surgeon Professor Chris Barnard, shared his memories and impressions of the event with listeners at the last medical history seminar of the year. At a talk titled Revisiting the heroics and hysteria of December 1967: A participant's reflections on the first heart transplant operation , Prof Botha said he did not think he had ever seen anyone perform as well as Chris Barnard did the night of the transplant. He said it was a startling moment to see Louis Washkansky's body kept alive by a bypass machine, but he was more fascinated by the sight of Washkansky's diseased heart which did not appear to want to stop beating. After the transplant was completed, Prof Botha went to the tearoom. "It was an extraordinary feeling walking to the tearoom and looking out at the cloudless clear morning. I had the feeling the openess was symbolic of something," he said. Prof Botha described his family as nonplussed but not particularly startled by news of the world's first heart transplant which went on to startle the rest of the globe. Chris Barnard received calls from colleagues all over the world on the Sunday following the transplant, but the storm of publicity did not really hit until the following Monday, according to Prof Botha.

    Extractions: I was born and raised in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma until 1981 when my mom and myself moved to Scio, Oregon. I attended schools in Scio and Salem until high school, when we moved to Newport, OR. I attended Newport High School until the end of my sophomore year when I moved to Corvallis. I played basketball, volleyball, softball, and soccer throughout junior high and high school. I really enjoyed athletics. I also played in the band all throughout school. I graduated in June 1990. I truly miss all the friends I made while living in Oregon. In July 1994, I moved back to Oklahoma City. In January 1995, I enrolled in the psychology degree program at Oklahoma City Community College. It turned out to be a major life-changing event. I learned many things, especially about myself, and met some great people. I enjoyed college. However, the last 8 months of my degree were difficult. I received my Associate of Arts in May 1998.

    Extractions: Stanford has been recognized as the pioneering center for heart transplants. Dr. Norman Shumway and his colleagues developed the experimental basis for transplants in their early work, which then paved the way for the first adult heart transplant in the United States at Stanford in 1968. Since then, the Stanford team has come up with many innovations and continues to advance new techniques in surgery. The team has conducted more than 1,000 heart transplants. In 1981, the first successful lung transplant was performed at Stanford by Dr. Bruce Reitz and his colleagues as a heart-lung transplant. This was made possible by the use of the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporine, and by previous laboratory research performed at Stanford. The team has been performing lung transplantation longer than anyone else and continues to make new advances. At Stanford, more than 150 patients have received a heart-lung transplant, and recently, over 120 patients have received either a single-lung or double-lung transplant.
