Developments: 2. Recent medical reports from Italy highlight significant advancements and successful outcomes in complex cardiac transplant procedures. In Siena, specialists at the Azienda ospedaliero-universitaria Senese completed a rare combined heart and kidney transplant. This procedure, the first of its kind in Tuscany since 2010, involved a multidisciplinary team managing a patient with both severe heart failure and end-stage chronic renal failure. The process utilized a perfusion machine to preserve the donor kidney while the patient stabilized following the initial heart transplant. Separately, in Turin, doctors at Molinette Hospital performed a life-saving heart transplant on a 19-year-old Mexican medical student. The patient required emergency intervention, including ECMO and a microaxial pump, after suffering a massive heart attack due to a congenital coronary anomaly. Following an eight-hour surgery using a heart donated from Calabria, the patient is recovering. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-06: Molinette Hospital performs life-saving heart transplant on Mexican student A 19-year-old Mexican medical student survived a life-threatening heart attack in Italy caused by a congenital anomaly, receiving a successful heart transplant at Molinette Hospital in Turin. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/molinette-hospital-performs-life-saving-heart-transplant-on-mexican-student ### 2026-09-03: Aou Senese performs rare combined heart and kidney transplant Specialists at the Azienda ospedaliero-universitaria Senese in Italy successfully performed a rare combined heart and kidney transplant, the first of its kind in Tuscany since 2010. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/aou-senese-performs-rare-combined-heart-and-kidney-transplant --- Cite as: Cardiac transplant procedures in Italy.
