This original newspaper contains a bold banner headline announcing the FIRST HUMAN HEART TRANSPLANT in the US (and the 2nd heart transplant world-wide).Adrian Kantrowitz (October 4, 1918 – November 14, 2008) was an American cardiac surgeon whose team performed the world's second heart transplant attempt (after Christiaan Barnard) at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York on December 6, 1967. The infant lived for only six hours. At a press conference afterwards, Kantrowitz emphasized that he considered the operation to have been a failure.On December 6, 1967, at Maimonides Medical Center, Kantrowitz's team, including Bjørnstad PG, Lindberg HL, Smevik B, Rian R, Sørland SJ, Tjønneland S, performed the world's first pediatric heart transplant attempt as well as the first human-to-human heart transplant in the United States. The donor infant was David McIntire Bashaw who was anencephalic baby with a brain which was "grossly malformed" and who had a poor Moro reflex (infant's startle response). However, this infant could move its extremities and had a feeble cry. According to Every Second Counts, both this infant and the recipient infant had their body temperatures cooled from 98.6 to 59 °F, at which time surgeons then waited for the donor baby's heart to stop beating.The recipient infant was 19-day-old Jamie Scudero who had the heart conditions of tricuspid atresia and Ebstein's anomaly. At 3:45 a.m., the cooling procedure began. At 4:25 a.m., the Bashaw baby flat-lined, and Jordan Haller removed his heart. He and Kantrowitz sutured the heart into Scudero's chest. This took 40 minutes. Kantrowitz was relying on hypothermia alone for Scudero which meant the entire operation needed to be completed in less than an hour. The team then warmed Scudero to 79 °F, at which point they administered an electrical shock to the heart and it began to beat. Scudero lived for a little more than six hours, and then his new heart stopped beating and could not be restarted. At a press conference, Kantrowitz emphasized that he did not view the operation as a success. Very good condition.
