When Dr. Mauricio Villavicencio, surgical director of the Heart and Lung Transplant Program at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, realized there was an issue transporting a heart he needed urgently for a heart transplant last October, he jumped into problem-solving mode. "Heart transplantation is very time-sensitive," Villavicencio told ABC News. Villavicencio said he had heard stories in the hospital about doctors contacting the Minnesota State Patrol for assistance in the past.
