Purno Saikia is the first human recipient of a pig heart and kidneys through surgery, and the first to receive non-human lungs.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] This is considered a landmark in the history of xenotransplantation or heterologous transplant, where living tissues or organs are transplanted from one species to another. The use of pig organs foreshadowed successful transplants in 2021 (pig kidney)^[5] and 2022 (pig heart).^[6] The surgery was conducted by surgeons Dhaniram Baruah and Jonathan Ho Kei-shing in 1996. Prior to this, the heart of a baboon had been transplanted into "Baby Fae" in 1984, along with some attempts at transplanting chimpanzee kidneys since the 1960s.^[7]
