Limb transplant patient dies in Turkey
The patient who received the world’ s first quadruple limb transplant in a university hospital in the Turkish capital of Ankara died on Monday, the semi-official Anatolia news agency reported.
Doctors at the Hacettepe University in Ankara was quoted as saying that the patient, Sevket Cavdar, “died despite all precautions and intensive care treatment.”
Cavdar received the world’s first quadruple limb transplant over the weekend, but the doctors had to remove his left leg on Sunday when his heart and vascular system could not sustain the leg.
Earlier Monday, the patient’s other three limbs were also removed due to the same reason.
Meanwhile, a full face transplant patient who was operated by the same team of surgeons, was reported to be in good condition. <Xinhua>
