BBC NEWS | Wales | Patient given pioneering lung op
A 55-year-old man has received a life-saving transplant using lungs from a donor which were made to breathe outside the body, it has been revealed.
Kenneth Collins from Chirk, Wrexham, had the procedure during a 14-hour operation at the University Hospital of South Manchester seven weeks ago.
The lungs were kept healthy for a longer period than they would normally survive outside the body.
