Hannah Clark from south Wales had a heterotopic transplant operation -- known as a "piggyback" because the donor heart is placed next to the original organ -- 10 years ago.
Basically, they placed a donor heart next to her original heart so it could help pump blood. The drugs she took to keep the donor heart from being rejected quit working, but they found her original heart was now working just fine after the rest. WOW.
