...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...

Their patient, a 19-day-old boy, died 6½ hours after he received a new heart.

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