The first patient to undergo the first ever heart and liver transplant in Ireland has thanked his organ donor for saving his life.
Martin Malinowski, who lives in Monaghan, underwent the complex surgery at the Mater Hospital last year and is now making great strides in his recovery.
The double transplant involved two surgical transplant teams - one from the Mater Hospital’s National Heart and Lung Unit and the other from St Vincent’s Hospital’s National Liver Transplant Unit.
