Maryland. Un equipo de cirujanos estadounidenses trasplantó con éxito el corazón de un cerdo modificado genéticamente a un humano; una primicia mundial, informó el lunes la universidad Maryland Medical School. La operación se llevó a cabo el viernes y demostró por primera vez que el corazón de un animal puede seguir latiendo en un ser humano sin un rechazo inmediato, explicó en un comunicado.

El paciente, David Bennett, no era apto para un trasplante humano. Este habitante de Maryland de 57 años se halla bajo vigilancia médica para determinar cómo funciona el nuevo órgano.
