Asset Overview

This is a fixed human heart that was donated for research. The donor was a 59 year old female with a history of pulmonary fibrosis, cervical cancer with chemotherapy, and 2 months of VV ECMO from Covid-19, leading to persistent pneumonia. The heart has a mis-positioned aorta from the fixation process, and some light spray was used to help the 3D scanning process. We partner with [LifeSource](https://www.life-source.org/) to receive donated organs deemed not viable for transplant.
