World First at Toronto General

Back in August I wrote about the ex-vivo pilot project that was being developed. This link takes you to a press release issued last Thursday on the successful outcome of the first transplant using this technique.

It received extensive coverage on TV and radio last week so you may have already caught the item. Needless to say Andy Dykstra, the transplanted patient, is over the moon about the results and I wish him continued success in his recovery.

I have signed up for the pilot too so I hope this means I will be up soon!
