Miraculous case of girl who lived with two hearts

LONDON: British doctors designed a radical solution to save a girl with major heart problems in 1995: They implanted a donor heart directly onto her own failing heart.

After 10 years with two blood pumping organs, Hannah Clark's faulty one did what many experts had thought impossible: it healed itself enough so that doctors could remove the donated heart.

But she also had a price to pay: The drugs Clark took to prevent her body from rejecting the donated heart led to malignant cancer that required chemotherapy.
