Doctors managed to transplant vital organs in the following way:
The heart of a 44-year-old patient, the operation was performed by experienced cardiac surgeon Lusine Arutyunyan.
The liver and kidney of a young girl Karina.
The second kidney was transplanted to a girl named Yulia.
The third patient, Alfiya, who had been suffering from cirrhosis of the liver for a long time, received a healthy organ.
Sergey Semchenko, head of the organ and tissue transplant center, emphasized that modern surgical methods make it possible to fully use the tissues of one donor to save several patients.
The hospital doctors consider this strategy optimal, since hundreds of patients in need of a heart, kidney or liver transplant are on the waiting list for a transplant, the local publication tumentoday.ru reports.
Earlier, Moscow doctors performed a unique operation on an infant diagnosed with heart failure and diaphragmatic hernia.
