"Unconventional Double Lung Transplant: Breast Implants Prove Life-Saving"
Doctors in St. Louis used DD breast implants to support a man's heart during a double lung transplant after his lungs were severely infected and had to be removed. The implants were necessary to keep his heart stable and allow his body to fight off the infection. The surgery was successful, and this innovative use of breast implants to support a heart after lung removal had never been done before. The patient, David "Davey" Bauer, now has a new lease on life and has nicknamed himself "DD Davey."
