eS tata 9 aan amon garner HEART WWENISE ANN DARVALL «+. Fatal Hurt avr gui AR eset en CAPE TOWN (CP) -- A South African man continued in satis- factory condition today with the heart of a 25-year-old woman pumping his blood after the medical breaktitrough' Sunday of a human heart transplant. Louis Washkansky, 55, a Lith- uanian-born businessman, was in the critical post-operative pe- riod of what Groote Shuur Hos- pital called the first successful human heart transplant. Heart specialists around the world were waiting to see if Washkansky's body would ac- cept or reject the heart of De- nise Ann Darvall, an accounting machine operator killed in a car crash. "The longer Washkansky goes on, the better,"' said Dr. Jaco- bus G. Burger, medical supervi- sor of the hospital, 'although that does not mean the heart will not be rejected later. The body could decide in five or 10 years' time that it doesn't want this heart." Washkansky inserted in his throat--and could not speak although he was re- ported fully conscious Sunday afternoon after the five-hour operation. He was being fed anti-coagu- lants to prevent blood clooting. Dr. Berger said that without the transplant Washkansky would have been dead within a few days because his heart's muscle was worn down. The landmark operation was supervised by Dr. Jan H. Louw, the hospital's chief »surgeon, with Professor Chris Barnard performing the main surgery. Surgeons removed the heart from Miss Darvall's body first and kept it going by a mechani- cal pump while they took out Washkansky's damaged heart. They then transplanted the girl's heart into the man's chest and start it beating with jolts from electrodes. "It was like turning the igni- tion switch of a car,"' said Dr. Louw. Denise gave not only her SS UU moved and taken to another hospital to be transplanted into Jonathan Van Wyk, a 10-year- old colored boy--mixed race under South Africa's race laws, "It sounds to me like a damn good job--scientifically valid," said Dr. Norman E. Shimway, head of the cardiovascular surgery division at the Stanford University Medical Centre in California. He said his staff is ready to perform the same heart opera- tion when the right combination of dying patient and donor whose heart must be taken no later than half an hour after death--occurs at Stanford. Dr. Shumway predicted that within 10 years doctors will be transplanting hearts with the same frequency they now trans- plant kidneys, About 600 persons throughout the world were liv- ing with transplanted kidneys as of last February.

Dr. Kenneth Sell of the U.S. Naval Medical Research Insti- tute said there was "'quite a def- inite chance' Washkansky might survive two years or more since several dogs which have received heart transplants still are alive two years after- ward, One abortive heart transplant effort was made in 1964 at the University of Mississippi. Sur- geons there kept a patient alive despite a failing heart in a long but futile wait for a suitable human donor. In desperation they finally transplanted the heart of a chimpanzee, which failed after one hour, The greatest obstacle to suc- cess in heart transplants is the human body's 'own defence mechanism against foreign ob- jects. To suppress this mecha- nism so it won't attack the transplanted heart, doctors were giving Washkansky a num- ber of drugs. OSHAWA, ONTARIO, MONDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1967 NMA vc Nc But such drugs so depress the defence mechanism that such harmful! foreign objects as germs thrive more easily, creating another hazard. Dr. Louw said: 'The critical period is the next 10 to 14 days. After that the chances of sur- vival increase considerably." "We are just hoping for the best,' said Dr. Burger. "The body throws out foreign tissues and he might be able to keep it or not. The operation was an ir- reversible step. If the heart is rejected he dies. It's not like a kidney transplant where the pa- tient can be put onto a machine until another suitable donor is found." DESCRIBED TENSION "We were all almost tangibly aware that this was medical history in the making," said a young doctor who witnessed the surgery. 'There was terrific tension. Most of the time was taken up with anastomosis--the painstaking work of suturing main arteries and veins of the imran patient to those of the donor heart. "Then, when the last anasto- mosis was in place they clamped the tubes leading from the heart to the pump. This was the moment of truth. Everybody leaned forward. There was hush in the theatre, "Prof. Barnard muttered: 'It's going to work.' The four surgeons stood back with their hands clasped, waiting. Time seemed to stop. Then the pa- tient's heart took over. Mr, Washkansky was on his own." _Washkansky was taken to hos- pital three months ago and the heart transplant was proposed about three weeks ago. _"He accepted without hesita- tion," said his wife. "He was only impatient-that it could not be done sooner. "Prof. Bernard was abso- lutely confident.

Bert Lahr Dies At 72 In 'Wizard' Beloved Lion NEW YORK (AP) -- Bert Lahr, 72, the beloved Cowardly Lion of The Wizard of Oz and veteran of countless stage and movie roles, died today. Lahr's death at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Centre was attributed to a massive: in- ternal hemorrhage. He had been under treatment since Nov. 21 for a back ailment and pneumo- nia. One of the great comic actors, Lahr's career spanned some 50 years and ranged from the clas- sic Cowardly Lion in The Wiz- ard of Oz to Estragon in the"dif- ficult Waiting for Godot. Which did he like best? "Strangely enough," he said once, 'it was-Waiting for Godot. It was controversial. Those that hated it, spit at it. Yet it had its cult, and it created a different type of audience for me. "It was like--it was like play- ing Carnegie Hall. It changed my whole career. Before that I was a buffoon. This gave me a chance to play Shaw and Mo- liere."' But it is as a clown that Lahr will be remembered by millions who saw him--and who will see him--as the Cowardly Lion.
