A young COVID-19 patient in the U.S. has received a double-lung transplant after the coronavirus ravaged her lungs. The operation is believed to be the first of its kind in the U.S. The 10-hour procedure was challenging because her lungs were damaged by the virus, said Dr. Ankit Bharat, who performed the operation.
