The University of Maryland Medical Center surgeons hoped the operation to rebuild the heart would enable other patients with heart tumors to avoid heart transplants. And also said at the time:

"We felt the transplant was by nature more risky in that she would have to take medication to prevent rejection," - Dr. Bartley Griffith, chief heart surgeon at the University of Maryland Medical Center. "We felt that if she could get her own heart back, that she would not face the risk of rejection."
