Man receives experimental pig kidney transplant, part of study to help those waiting for human organs.
A 54-year-old New Hampshire man, Bill Stewart, has received a pig kidney transplant in an experimental procedure at Massachusetts General Hospital.
This follows a similar successful transplant to another New Hampshire man, Tim Andrews, who has been off dialysis for seven months.
The Food and Drug Administration has approved eGenesis to conduct a study of these pig-to-human kidney transplants, aiming to provide gene-edited pig kidneys to 30 people aged 50 or older on the transplant list.
The goal is to help those waiting for human organ transplants by providing a viable alternative.
