Madani News Update January 11, 2022
In the United States, Dr. Mansoor Mohi-ud-Din of Pakistan performed a great feat in the world of medical science by successfully implanting a pig's heart in a patient.
After this unique experience, the need for a human being to wait for a change of heart was eliminated and it was proved for the first time that a human being can live with the heart of an animal.
David Bennett, 57, of the United States, became the first person in human history to have a genetically modified pig heart transplanted into a patient, according to the University of Maryland Medical School. The heart of the pig has been planted.
This wonderful feat was performed in the United States by Dr. Mansoor Mohi-ud-Din, a Pakistani graduate of Dow University of Health Sciences.
Talking, Dr. Mansoor said, "In the initial experiments, the heart of a monkey was implanted, but it did not prove to be useful.
Dr. Mansoor Mohi-ud-Din said, "We examined all the animals to see which one is closest to man. In the beginning, the heart of a monkey was implanted, but it did not prove to be so useful. There are other reasons why we did all the research on pigs.
A patient's heart transplant cost PKR 17.5 million.
In this regard, Dr. Mansoor said that "the cost is high due to initial experience but there is no need to worry about transplant".
Dr. Mansoor Mohi-ud-Din further said, "The patient whose heart was implanted was very ill. We had no choice but to do so. In this case, the patient and his heart have to be constantly monitored. We have to take care that we Has given a new heart to the patient but will the rest of the body also accept this thing.
Patient conversation
On the other hand, according to the BBC, the patient had said in a conversation before his operation that he knew it was like shooting an arrow in the dark, but for him it was his last choice to accept death or get a transplant.
