The inaugural partial heart transplant in the world has achieved remarkable success after a year of treatment. The infant who underwent the groundbreaking procedure not only survived but also experienced growth in his heart valves and arteries.
Owen Munro, born with a congenital heart defect, required repair for his heart valves and arteries. The groundbreaking intervention took place in the spring of 2022, when Owen was a mere 17 days old.
