A domino transplant surgery occurs when one person is both a donor for a transplant and a recipient of another organ.
The Civils felt overjoyed to learn they were having a baby. Samantha and Andre Civil were living in Roosevelt, New Jersey, where he worked as a police officer and she as a teacher. During an anatomy scan before their baby was born, though, they learned that her heart was missing a valve.
“It was terrifying,” Andre Civil told TODAY. “They gave us a lot of information that we didn’t quite understand.” But Nicole Skaats, a nurse, knew her daughter was not fine and kept pushing for answers. Finally, she learned what was wrong with Mia: She had cardiomyopathy and was in heart failure. To survive, she would need a heart transplant.Both the Skaatses and Civils took their daughters to New York Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital in New York City. Still, waiting for a heart that matched Mia took seven months. When the call came, the doctors and Skaatses sprung into action.
“I said, ‘Well, I’m doing a heart transplant tonight. … Maybe we should do this as a domino,” he said.
