Historic pig transplant recipient died of ‘unexpected cardiac event’
SHARE

The passing of Rick Slayman, the pioneer recipient of a genetically engineered pig kidney transplant, was attributed to an unforeseen cardiac event, according to his transplant surgeon. This revelation, made six months after the 62-year-old resident of Weymouth, Massachusetts, passed away, provided the first public insight into the cause of Slayman’s death. Importantly, it was clarified that there were no indications of rejection of the transplanted organ within two months of the historic procedure.

In a press release issued in May following Slayman’s demise, hospital authorities stated that there was no evidence linking his death to the transplant, yet failed to furnish additional specifics. More than 100,000 individuals in the United States are awaiting kidney transplants, with only around 17,000 individuals receiving them annually, as per the National Kidney Foundation. Tragically, 12 people lose their lives each day while awaiting a kidney transplant, underscoring the urgent need for viable solutions to alleviate this critical shortage.

The potential of pig-to-human organ transplants holds promise for addressing the pressing demand for kidneys in the future. By leveraging advancements in genetic engineering and medical technology, such procedures offer hope for enhancing transplant outcomes and saving lives. As research in this field progresses, the prospect of expanding access to life-saving organ transplants becomes increasingly feasible, offering renewed hope to countless individuals grappling with kidney failure and organ scarcity.
