Transplantation has been the preferred treatment for severe failure of the heart and other organs for more than three decades. But, for these decades and longer transplantation could be offered to few who could benefit because donated human organs were scarce. The most obvious solution to the scarcity of human hearts and other organs today, 30 years ago and decades before has been to use animals instead of humans as the source of organs, that is xenotransplantation.
