American Adriana Rodriguez, 31, underwent a revolutionary medical procedure that saved her life. Doctors transplanted a woman with a new heart and liver, which was completely healthy. New Atlas writes about it. After the third birth, an American woman suffered a coronary artery dissection, that is, a rupture of the main artery of the heart, which led to severe heart failure.. The disease did not respond to standard treatment.. As a result, the woman was dependent on the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine.. The device took over the work of the heart and lungs to pump blood and saturate it with oxygen.. However, it was immediately known that such a solution was temporary.. A cardiologist at the University of Washington School of Medicine, Dr. Shin Ling, claimed that there was a 99% chance that Adriana's body would reject the new heart.. Since a suitable donor was not found, the doctors decided to take an unprecedented step, inspired by the results of a study conducted in 2021. The study had results that showed that patients who received both heart and liver transplants had a high level of protection against organ rejection, as predicted in the case of Adriana. It was believed that a new liver could significantly increase a woman's body's chances of accepting a new heart.. " The uniqueness of the method was that Adriana's healthy liver was transplanted to another patient who needed it.. Yes, the unusual step potentially saved not one, but two lives," The surgery took 17 hours and after 65 days proved the success of the transplant. This unusual and, in its own way, revolutionary operation not only saved Adriana's life, but also opened a new chapter in organ transplantation.. It provides a ray of hope for other patients in a similar situation and paves the way for innovative treatment approaches in the future..

However, it is important to remember that in order to understand and repeat a successful result, additional research and analysis of a successful operation is needed before doctors can take such a risky step again," Recall that earlier in Lviv, a woman was removed a giant tumor weighing 13 kilograms.
