A patient with cystic fibrosis has undergone a rare quadruple-organ transplant at UChicago Medicine in Illinois, a procedure that is reportedly the first of its kind in the state. The transplant involved lungs, liver, and kidney, and may have also included a heart, although details of the procedure are not entirely clear. The patient is one of a small number of people in the US to have received such a transplant, with some reports indicating they are the sixth person to have undergone the procedure.
