The patient who underwent the transplant of a genetically modified pig kidney

The first patient to undergo a genetically modified pig kidney transplant has died two months after the operation. Richard Slayman, 62, was suffering from end-stage kidney disease before undergoing surgery in March.

Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) said Sunday there was no indication his death was a result of the transplant. Transplants of other organs from genetically modified pigs have failed in the past, but Slayman's operation was hailed as a milestone.

In addition to kidney disease, Slayman also suffered from type 2 diabetes and hypertension. In 2018, he performed a human kidney transplant, but it began to fail after five years.

After the pig kidney transplant on March 16, his doctors confirmed he no longer needed dialysis as the new organ was said to be working well.
