While the team was on the plane, medical staff at the hospital completed the removal of the decayed liver and heart for new transplantations. After 7 hours, the surgery finished and after 24 hours, the two recipients recovered. The heart recipient is a 60 year old man who suffered heart strain and the liver recipient is a 40 year old man who has liver cancer. These are the 25th liver and the 11th heart transplant operations carried out using brain-dead donors at the Viet Duc Hospital.
