THE i'4HTM. Off Guerrillas Smashed Suicide Greatest 'Success Story 1 Of All Jim? fwa Page Hospital a decision was taken to attempt a human heart transplant operation. Ten years of experience in open heart surgery and a four-year research program on organ transplantation had given us the background for confidence of a successful outcome to this undertaking. It did not take long to find a patient suitable for cardiac transplant, and Mr. Louis Washkansky was considered to have heart disease incurable by any known treatment other than cardiac tranpiontaion.

He aiso had ihe correct mental approach and moral cvui age iiiiijseu to uus new operation. His blood was examined to determine the pattern of antigens on his red cells and white cells, as this would help us to select a suitable cardiac donor at a subsequent stage by a comparison of a similar antigenic in the prosiwotive donor A suitable donor would be a young person with an inevitably fatal disease or injury but having an undamaged heart. Suitable young people in this category are almost exclusively patients involved in severe accidents. As so little time is usually available between the time of the accident and the time of death of a severely injured patient, all possible preparations were made for the proposed operation beforehand. The entire team to be involved in the transplant operation was on continuous stand-by.

Twelve units of fresh blood were drawn from 12 fresh volunteers and crossmatched daily in case they should be needed for this proposed operation, On Saturday, Dec. 2, a young lady. Miss Denise Ann Darvall, was admitted to Groote Schuur Hospital having suffered severe injuries in an auto accident shortly before. Intensive resuscitation was commenced immediately she was admitted, but when seen shortly afterwards by a neurosurgeon she was declared to have inevitably Jata! train damage. InteiMtve resuscitation was conltmted and permission was obtained from the girl's father to remove her th mr in trartsntant operations.

The team was alerted, and the injured girl and Mr. Washkansky were taken to adjoining operating theaters where preparations were continued for two simultaneous open-heart operations. The blood tests of the injured girl showed both the red cells and the white cells to be almost perfectly compatible with those of Mr. Washkansky, a great encouragement to us. It became obvious that our treatment of the injured girl was rapidly failing to avert the fatal outcome, and Mr.

Washkansky was anesthetized about 1:30 a.m. Sunday. The operation commenced. Within half an hour of the commencement of the open-heart operation, when Mr. Washkansky's body had been cooled to protect his vital organs, the injured girl died, and the electrocardiograph showed complete paralysis of her heart.

The heart of the girl was exposed, connected to a heart-lung machine, and eardiopulmonary bypass was commenced with cooling of the blood in the by-pass heart-lung machine. When her heart was cooled sufficiently, it was removed by dividing the major veins and arteries and disconnected from the heart-lung machine in the first operating theater. Her heart was transferred to the second operating theater, where it was reconnected within minutes to the second heart-lung machine and perfused fed with oold blood, The perfuskm continued during implantation of the heart. Mr. Washkansky's aorta was.

clamped to isolate his heart from the blood circulating in the body and his severely damaged heart was excised cut out, leaving portions of both atrial chambars to serve as the stem to which the new heart would be grafted. While the rest of Mr. Washkansky's body continued to be perfused from the heart-lung machine, the donor heart was sutured in position, using fine silk sutures to join the atria and main arteries of the new heart to those of Mr. Washkansky. firstly, the Ml atria of the patient and the new heart were joined to each other, and fouowng thb the right atria were similarly united Next, the divided ends of the pulmonary arteries were sutured together, and lastly the two aortas were joined, the camnua tube which perfused the new grafted heart being removed during the final stages of the suturing of the aorta.

The clamp of Mr. aorta and the new heart was perfused by Wood pumped into the aorta from the heart-lung rnacMm.
