Surgeons at Duke University have successfully resuscitated a "dead" heart on the operating table and transplanted it into a three-month-old baby, saving the child's life. The technique, known as "on-table reanimation," involves using custom-designed machine to revive donor heart outside donor's body. The transplant was a success, with infant showing no signs of organ rejection six months later.
