Abstract

The first attempt at human cardiac transplantation (Barnard, 1967) launched an enormous interest among public opinion and scientists from many fields. The possibility of saving lives of patients by replacing their malfunctioning organs with the healthy ones meant for everybody a dramatic breakthrough in the potential of medicine.
