21-- A 32-year-old woman died today despite a daring lifesaving attempt by Frankford hospital doc tors who pumped her blood in and out of a dead man's kidney. At the time of the woman's death doctors said the kidney still was functioning but not efficiently enough to remove the accumulated impurities. The doctors didn't give up on their technique, though. They contend the experiment was not successful in saving the woman's life because there was too great a lapse of time between the death of the man and the time his kidney was put to work to purify her blood. The kidney was removed from the body of Wayne H.

Deveny, a 30-year-old York. Pa- truck driver killed in a highway acci dent, and used to try to purify the blood of Mrs. Richard Irvine, of Philadelphia, mother of three children. Deveny was killed shortly before 4 a. m.

The kidney was removed at 4:45 a. and 15 minutes later Mrs. Irvine's blod began to flow through the spare kidney, kept "alive" in a special apparatus devised by two young doctors at tne Hospital. The decision to attempt the experiment was reached late last night when Mrs. Irvine's condi tion became critical.

The doctor who performed the experiment said her case was considered hopeless at that The kidney was kept alive through use of a salt solution, dripping onto, it from an electri-cally-tcontrolled device which also kept the kidney warm and moist at a temperature of 40 degrees centigrade. The device is similar to the so- called Lindbergh heart, familiar to the public for many years. The doctor who performed the experiment, requesting that his name not be made public, said that he believes the operation would prove successful if there were only a very brief time gap between death and removal of the kidney.
