Medical error in Italy/ 2-year-old dies after receiving a damaged heart

A two-year-old boy died today in Naples, Italy, after receiving a damaged heart transplant.

Attempts made in recent days to replace the problematic heart failed due to the critical condition of all of the child's vital organs.

Two months ago, the child underwent a heart transplant, but according to the prosecutor's initial investigations, a tragic error had occurred: the heart that was to be transplanted was transported from Bolzano in northern Italy to Naples inside a box of dry ice.

When the medical team arrived in the operating room, the heart meat had turned "into a piece of ice."

However, the doctors decided not to cancel the transplant, as they had already removed the little patient's heart.

The medical error was discovered after journalistic investigations, and the hospital was forced to accept its responsibility. /CNA
