Historical Perspective
The first heart transplanted into a human occurred in 1964 at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, Mississippi when a team led by Dr. James Hardy transplanted a chimpanzee heart into a dying patient. [1]
- December 1967- Professor Christian Barnard performed the first human to human heart transplant at Groote Schuur Hospital, South Africa. The patient was a Louis Washkansky of Cape Town, South Africa, who lived for 18 days after the procedure before dying of pneumonia. The donor was Denise Darvall, who was rendered brain dead in a car accident. [2]
- bDecember 6, 1967- Adrian Kantrowitz performed the world's first pediatric heart transplant
- January 6, 1968- Norman Shumway performed the first adult human to human heart transplant in the United States at the Stanford University Hospital. [3]
Further developments in the field came in the form of:
- 1970 - Recipient selection criteria standardized
- 1973 - Surveillance endocardial biopsy
