The patient received a new trachea, or windpipe, made from his own stem cells. An international team of surgeons successfully carried out the world's first transplant of a synthetic windpipe.

Answer:

A. The synthetic organ was seeded with stem cells from the patient’s bone marrow.

Step-by-step explanation:

An artificial organ is an artificial device that is implanted or integrated into a human being to replace a person's organ, with the purpose of restoring a specific function or a group of related functions, with which the patient can return to such a life. normal as possible. The substitution function does not necessarily have to be related to life support.
