...made the transplant possible was despondent. Said Edward Darvall: "There was at least part of my daughter alive, and now it's all gone. I feel empty." (In fact, one of her kidneys, transplanted to Jonathan Van Wyk, 10, was still working well.) Brooklyn's Dr. Adrian Kantrowitz, whose own heart-transplant operation had failed two weeks earlier, expressed his sorrow, then added: "However, I believe that the operation performed by Dr. Christiaan Barnard represents a great step forward...
...this, the team at Brooklyn's Maimonides Medical Center, headed by Dr. Adrian Kantrowitz, admitted "unequivocal failure." Their patient, a 19-day-old boy, died 6½ hours after he received a new heart. But the team of Dr. Christiaan Neethling Barnard, 44, which acted first at Cape Town, South Africa, had a more enduring success.

At this time, as expected, there appeared the first signs of a tendency by his body to reject the transplant, but the doctors...

Last year its heart specialists pioneered in implanting temporary plastic ventricles (TIME, June 3, 1966).

It does not require major chest surgery on an already weakened patient...
