Demikhov's book Experimental Transplantation of Vital Organs into English by Basil Haigh in 1962, its publication in the USA and an ambiguous response of foreign readers and surgeons to it.

The results of the preparatory work were summarized. The fact of V.P. Demikhov's readiness to perform heart transplantation on clinic was stated, including that one to harvesting and revitalizing a cadaveric organ, but there were no permission to transplant it to a human.
