Ankara: The patient
who received the world's first quadruple limb transplant in a
university hospital in Ankara died Monday.
Sevket Cavdar died "despite all precautions and intensive care
treatment", the Anatolia news agency quoted doctors at the
Hacettepe University hospital as saying.
Cavdar received the world's first quadruple limb transplant over
the weekend, but the doctors had to remove his left leg Sunday
when his heart and vascular system could not sustain the leg,
Xinhua reported.
Earlier Monday, the patient's other three limbs were also removed
due to the same reason.
Meanwhile, a full face transplant patient who was operated by the
same team of surgeons, was reported to be in good condition.
