A 9-month-old Texas girl, who officials say is the first infant ever to receive a second heart transplant, remained in critical condition, a nursing supervisor said. Kiersten Jones of the Dallas suburb of Flower Mound received a new heart during 4 1/2 hours of surgery at Children’s Medical Center in Dallas. Her body rejected the first transplant, which she received April 12. She was in critical condition in the hospital’s intensive care unit, where she was expected to remain for three or four days, said nursing supervisor Victoria Baxter.
