Chicago Doctors Perform Successful Double-Lung Transplant on Davey Bauer Using Breast Implants

Chicago doctors performed a successful double-lung transplant on 34-year-old Davey Bauer, who had smoked and vaped for many years. The rare procedure involved using breast implants to keep him alive while awaiting the transplant. Dr. David Klassen, from the United Network for Organ Sharing, praised the surgery as a technical achievement with potential to advance the field. The donor also saved three other individuals by donating tissues and organs.
