Pioneering heart work


of former local man


PIG hearts have been suc­ cessfully transplanted into monkeys in a major step


towards using animal organs in human beings.


The director of the heart transplant unit, at Pap-


worth Hospital, Dr John Wallwork, who is a former resident of Clitheroe, said that monkeys had lived for prolonged periods when transplanted with hearts from specially-bred :pigs. A s tu d y would s t a r t toward the end of next year into the feasibility of implanting pig hearts into humans, raising the possi­ bility of the first trans plants in 1997. Thousands of geneti­ cally-modified pigs were


bred for the project, Dr Wallwork tola the annual


congress of the European Society' of Cardiology in Amsterdam. Dr Wallwork made his-


ject of a controversial two- part television documen­ tary about xenografting, the science of placing organs from other species into man.
