Doctors successfully transplanted a genetically modified pig kidney into a 66-year-old man suffering from kidney failure caused by diabetes. The animal organ functioned for nine months without the need for dialysis before the patient later received a human kidney transplant. This achievement is the longest recorded period for a pig kidney transplant into a living patient and marks the first successful transfer from a pig to a human kidney. It is also clarified that the pig kidney was used as a temporary "bridge" while waiting for a human transplant.
