According to the Palm Beach Post, doctors are amazed that Tony Huesman from Ohio is still alive 28 years after his heart transplant. His heart had been damaged by a pneumonia virus, which had caused his heart to enlarge by four times its normal size and the walls of the heart to stretch and become "paper thin. "When Huesman received the transplanted heart in 1978 at Stanford University, it was one of the only United States' (U. S. ') transplant centers doing this type of surgery. Most other heart surgeons and locations had abandoned the transplantation of hearts, because most patients were not surviving very long after surgery.
