The Sant'Andrea Hospital in Rome has achieved a medical first by performing a pulmonary artery transplant on a 70-year-old patient diagnosed with lung cancer. The neoplasm had infiltrated the pulmonary artery after the patient had his entire left lung removed. The surgical intervention, proposed by young specialists Cecilia Menna and Beatrice Trabalza Marinucci, took place on July 17 and was led by Erino A. Rendina, the head of the thoracic surgery department. The transplanted artery was obtained from a donor in Barcelona, where it was cryopreserved. This achievement marks an important step in thoracic surgery and in the treatment of patients with severe conditions.
