By Adrianna Nine March 22, 2024 I don't think so. Not that I'm looking for bad news. But I guess there would 'not that so glamorous' news in a view days and not pushed: Patient died after N days :(
I find it unlikely that the patient would die. In the worst case, they would have to remove the pig kidney, and the patient would go back on dialysis.
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
