Another Mumbaikar received a donor heart from Aurangabad today, who opened their hearts to save a precious life. Suffering from Viral Myocarditis and Intractable Arrhythmia since the past 2 months, a heart transplant was absolutely essential and only hope of survival for the 38year old male recipient. The recipient, a resident of Thane, Mumbai was waitlisted for the past 10days. City’s 20th heart transplant became possible after a 32year old male patient was declared brain-dead following a road traffic accident that resulted in a head injury; at United Ciigma Hospital, Aurangabad.
