The Karolinska Institute published the incomplete results of its verification of Macchiarini’s CV in February 2016.

In June 2008, Macchiarini conducted a transplant of a donated trachea colonized with the stem cells of the recipient, Claudia Castillo; the tissue was used to replace her left bronchus, which had been damaged by tuberculosis, and her left lung had collapsed. The trachea came from a cadaver, and was stripped of its cells and seeded with cells taken from Castillo’s bone marrow. The bone marrow cells were cultured at Bristol University, the donor trachea was stripped at University of Padua, the stripped trachea was seeded with the cultured cells at University of Milan, and the trachea was transplanted by a team led by Macchiarini at Hospital Clinic in Barcelona.

The next year the implant collapsed and Macchiarini replaced it with a second one.

In 2016 she underwent multiple organ transplants in the U.S., and her trachea was replaced with one from a cadaver.
