The recipient, who had suffered heart failure many years, received the heart last month, according to the hospital.
Doctors said his heart, liver, kidney and respiratory functions are stable.
The hospital’s doctors have successfully performed five heart transplants with the brain-dead donors in the last five years. They were assisted by doctors from Viet Duc Hospital in the first four, but in the latest case they carried out the procedure independently./.
