 A surgeon examines a baby after performing her heart transplant. |
 Doctors race to remove a donor heart from a patient at Ben Taub hospital in Hou ston and transport the heart to Loma Linda hospital in California, where Krysta Falloon, a six-month-old born with an underdeveloped heart, waits to receive a new heart. This photograph shows surgeon Leonard Bailey removing the heat from the donor b aby. After the donor heart was removed, it was cleaned and transported in a co oler. From this point it is a race against time to prep Krysta for surgery and perform the heart transplant. Having undergone a successful heart transplant at 20 months, Krysta has a good chance of survival. The success rate on such surgery has bee n 80 percent since 1985. For more information on Krystas heart transplant, se e pages 124-5 of the 3/90 NGM. |

 Gerd Ludwig/ASA / ASA, On April 26, 1986 at 1:23 am, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power PlantÕs Reactor #4 blew up after operators botched a safety test, triggering the worldÕs worst nuclear disaster to date. Twenty years later, the long shadow of Chernobyl continues to darken lives - socially, environmentally, and physically. In the Minsk ChildrenÕs Cardilogy Center, Dr. William Novick (with surgical light) and his team of international volunteers perform very difficult surgery on childrens hearts. According to his findings, a much higher number of a certain severe heart condition occurs in Belarus. He has now secured some funding to monitor children in Belarus to substantiate his findings. Dr. Novick is the founder and Medical Director of the International Childrens Heart Foundation (www.babyheart.org). The foundations mission is to help children with congenital or acquired heart disease in developing countries throughout the world. It also educates health care professionals in those countries by bringing them to the United States for advanced study so that they may better serve their own children. |

 Peter Menzel / ASA / ASA, Usa.rs.422.120.xs Robot surgery. Da Vinci the robot surgeon performs minimally invasive surgery (MIS) on a patients heart. The surgical tools are on the ends of the robot arms. A surgeon who views a live three-dimensional image of the operation site from an endoscope on one of the robot arms controls these remotely. MIS excludes the large open incisions associated with classical surgery, reducing pain, convalescence period and the risk of infection. The da Vinci system allows precise control of surgical tools through incisions just 1cm wide, with greater control than manual MIS procedures. Intuitive Surgical Incorporated, based in California, USA, designed Da Vinci. |
