Acturally more one patient died and the rest are in intesive care.
I'm talking about the Swiss surgeon Paolo Macchiarini.
On June 9th, a 36-year-old man suffering from late stage tracheal cancer, received a new trachea, or windpipe, made from a www.thelocal.se/20110708/34810
The patient was told that he would die within 6 months unless he underwent the surgery. He was also told that the operation hade been performed on pigs (pigs are rather similar to humans), which was not true.
His widow said that it would have been better for him if he had died earlier. He lived for 2,5 year afterwards and suffered a lot. Infections, very hard to breathe etc.

Heads will roll, but how come the authorities at Karolinska Institutet believed in him so long?
A long article about him in Vanity Fair: www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/01/celebrity-surgeon-nbc-news-producer-scam
And of course Daily Mail has a piece on him: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3387132/Celebrity-surgeon-hoodwinked-fiancee-claims-celebrity-friends-promise-Pope-officiate-wedding-discovered-married.html
I don't feel sorry for the journalist Benita Alexander, who started an affair with the man she was doing a TV-program about (A Leap of Faith). Work etics anyone? But I feel sorry for the suffering patients who served as his guinea pigs.
I'm talking about the Swiss surgeon Paolo Macchiarini.
On June 9th, a 36-year-old man suffering from late stage tracheal cancer, received a new trachea, or windpipe, made from a
synthetic scaffold and covered with his own stem cells, the Karolinska University Hospital in the Stockholm suburb of Huddinge said in a statement.
The so-called regenerative medical procedure could, according to the hospital, revolutionise the field of trachea transplants, making them far more accessible.

The transplant team was led by professor Paolo Macchiarini of Karolinska and included professor Alexander Seifalian of the University College London, who designed and built the artificial windpipe.

However, Andemariam Teklesenbet Beyene, the man who received the first transplant, later developed an increasingly bad and then bloody cough, and then died, incubated, in the Karolinska hospital.
A prominent surgeon could face dismissal from Sweden’s Karolinska Institute after Sweden’s state broadcaster SVT claimed that he had carried out an experimental operation on a woman in Russia without the Institute's approval.
The woman later became seriously ill and died.
