The World's First Heart Donor
Denise Anne Darvell

Sadly Denise died 3rd December 1967

Denise lived in Cape Town, South Africa with her mother and father, and her younger brother. She worked as a bank clerk and one of her hobbies was designing and making her own cloths.​
One Sunday afternoon on 3rd December 1967, she and her family were invited to afternoon tea at a friends house. Denise had a new car and she like to drive to places, Denise and her younger brother Keith were in the front singing while they drove, Mr and Mrs Darvall were in the back. On the way to their friends house they decided to stop and buy a cake as a gift for their friends.​
Denise pulled over on the left hand side of the road, her and her mother got out of the car and crossed over to a bakery leaving her dad and brother in the car waiting. When returning to the car with the cake they were both knocked down. Mrs Darvall was killed instantly, whereas Denise was thrown across the road and banged her head on a parked cars hub cap. This caused a serious injury to her head, an ambulance arrived and took her to Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town.​
Mr Darvall traveled in the ambulance to the hospital with his wife and daughter, at the time he didn't realise his wife had died, and he could hear his daughter moaning. On arriving at the hospital he was told his wife had died at the scene of the accident.​
His daughter was rushed into a small emergency room, but sadly the brain specialist confirmed her injuries were too severe and that she wouldn't survive.​
Dr Bosman then went to tell Mr George Darvall the news, Mr Darvall had already been told that his wife had died that day due to the accident and now he was being told his daughter would not survive.​
Mr Darvall was then asked about transplantation and whether the hospital could use her heart and kidney to save the lives of two other patients?​
He knew his wives wishes should anything have happened to her, as she had told him she wanted to be cremated, but he had no idea what his daughter would have wanted. It only took him about 4 minutes to make his mind up, he remembered a birthday cake she had once made with a heart on it and the words DADDY WE LOVE YOU. He also remembered a bathrobe she had brought him with her first weeks wages, she was like that always giving things to other people, so he decided to say yes.​
"Well Doctor if you can't save my daughter please do save the other patients."
Mr Darvall never regretted donating Denny's heart, he said I could never have forgiven myself if I hadn't, I would have been haunted by her voice asking me, "Why daddy didn't you do it - why didn't you want to help save that persons life?"​

Louis Washkansky was the recipient of Denise's heart and a young boy received her kidney.​

Christiaan Barnard




The first successful heart transplant[edit source | editbeta]

Following the first successful kidney transplant in 1953, in the United States, Barnard performed the second kidney transplant in South Africa in October 1967, the first being done in Johannesburg the previous year.[SUP][2][/SUP][SUP][page needed][/SUP][SUP][3][/SUP] Barnard experimented for several years with animal heart transplants.[SUP][1][/SUP] More than 50 dogs received transplanted hearts.[SUP][1][/SUP][SUP][4][/SUP]With the availability of new breakthroughs introduced by several pioneers, amongst them Norman Shumway, several surgical teams were in a position to prepare for a human heart transplant.[SUP][1][/SUP] Barnard had a patient willing to undergo the procedure, but as with other surgeons, he needed a suitable donor.[SUP][1][/SUP][SUP][4][/SUP]
He performed the world's first human heart transplant operation on 3 December 1967, in an operation assisted by his brother, Marius Barnard; the operation lasted nine hours and used a team of thirty people.[SUP][1][/SUP] The patient, Louis Washkansky, was a 54-year-old grocer, suffering from diabetes and incurable heart disease.[SUP][4][/SUP][SUP][1][/SUP] Barnard later wrote, "For a dying man it is not a difficult decision because he knows he is at the end. If a lion chases you to the bank of a river filled with crocodiles, you will leap into the water, convinced you have a chance to swim to the other side." The donor heart came from a young woman, Denise Darvall, who had been rendered brain damaged in an accident on 2 December 1967, while crossing a street in Cape Town.[SUP][1][/SUP] After securing permission from Darvall's father to use her heart, Barnard performed the transplant. Rather than wait for Darvall's heart to stop beating, at his brother, Dr. Marius Barnard's urging, Christiaan had injected potassium into her heart to paralyse it and render her technically dead by the whole-body standard.[SUP][1][/SUP]Twenty years later, Dr. Marius Barnard recounted, "Chris stood there for a few moments, watching, then stood back and said, 'It works.'"[SUP][1][/SUP][SUP][4][/SUP] Washkansky survived the operation and lived for 18 days. However, he succumbed to pneumonia as he was taking immunosuppressive drugs. Though the first patient with the heart of another human being survived for only a little more than two weeks, Barnard had passed a milestone in a new field of life-extending surgery.
Barnard became an international superstar overnight and was celebrated around the world for his daring accomplishment. He was quite photogenic, and enjoyed the media attention following the operation. Barnard continued to perform heart transplants. A transplant operation was conducted on 2 January 1968, and the patient, Philip Blaiberg, survived for 19 months. Dirk van Zyl, who received a new heart in 1971, was the longest-lived recipient, surviving over 23 years.[SUP][5][/SUP]
Barnard performed ten orthotopic transplants (1967–1973). He was also the first to perform a heterotopic heart transplant, an operation that he himself devised. Forty-nine consecutive heterotopic heart transplants were performed in Cape Town between 1975 and 1984.
When many surgeons—disillusioned by poor results—gave up cardiac transplantation, Barnard persisted until the advent of ciclosporin, which helped revive the operation throughout the world. He was also the first surgeon to attempt xenograft transplantation in a human patient, while attempting to save the life of a young girl unable to leave artificial life support after a second aortic valve replacement. He was later accused of wrongdoing by her parents.
was she one of his wife or patience?
