Tim Andrews, after 271 days with a pig kidney, received a successful human kidney transplant and is recovering at home.
Tim Andrews, a New Hampshire man who previously lived with a genetically modified pig kidney for 271 days—the longest such survival—has received a successful human kidney transplant at Massachusetts General Hospital.
After his pig kidney was rejected in October, Andrews resumed dialysis before a near-perfect human donor match was found.
The transplant, performed recently, went well, and he is now recovering at home.
The case highlights progress in xenotransplantation and efforts to address the critical shortage of human donor organs.
