Successful Pig Heart Transplant: Patient Recovers Rejection-Free After 1 Month

A month after becoming the second person to receive a transplanted heart from a pig, Lawrence Faucette is shown in hospital video working hard to recover. Faucette, who was ineligible for a traditional heart transplant due to other health problems, is seen undergoing physical therapy to regain his strength. The pig heart has shown no signs of rejection, and Faucette's doctors are optimistic about his progress. Xenotransplants, using genetically modified pigs, offer hope for addressing the shortage of human organ donations.
