Davey Bauer's life was saved by a double lung transplant that involved the temporary use of breast implants.
The breast implants were used to keep Bauer's heart in place while waiting for donor lungs.
This marked the first time a patient had both lungs removed and breast implants temporarily put in their place.
In a groundbreaking medical procedure, a 34-year-old man, Davey Bauer, was saved by a double lung transplant that involved the temporary use of breast implants. Bauer, a former smoker turned vaper, had developed a severe lung infection that led to his lungs ceasing to function. The medical team at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, who handled this complex case, used the breast implants to keep Bauer's heart in place while waiting for donor lungs to become available.
The damage to Bauer's lungs was so extensive that doctors had to place him on an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) device. This marked the first time a patient had both lungs removed and breast implants temporarily put in their place. The use of double-D breast implants helped clear the infection rapidly, stabilizing Bauer's condition.
Within 24 hours, Bauer received an organ offer and underwent successful lung transplantation. He was released from the hospital in September and is continuing with therapy at a rehab facility. Bauer, now nicknamed 'DD Davey', hopes his story will encourage others to quit smoking and vaping.
