The first heart and kidney transplant on one patient in Vietnam was successfully performed on February 15 by doctors of the Vietnam-Germany Friendship Hospital, the hospital announced on February 24. The transplanted organs were taken from a brain-dead donor. Associate Professor Nguyen Huu Uoc, director of the hospital’s Cardiovascular and Thoracic Centre, said the patient who received the organs is a 37-year-old man living in the Central Highlands province of Gia Lai. He suffered from dilated cardiomyopathy, heart failure and severe arrhythmias, leading to end-stage renal failure. The transplant surgery lasted for 10 hours from 9am to 7pm on February 15 with the participation of doctors from five centres and clinical departments. The patient’s heart and kidney recovered fully on February 24, eight days after the transplant. This was the first time Vietnamese doctors have successfully performed a transplant of heart and kidney organs on one patient. VNA Photo: Minh Quyết
