The last guy died after 2 months and didn't show any signs of rejection either.. I wouldn't break out the party yet.
That's because he happened to get a verry treatable infection but was already immunocompromised. The pig heart was never the issue
That's true, but he may very well have died due to a virus the tissue was infected with. There's no sign this heart has the same issue.
