A 6-year-old Vacaville boy received a new heart after relying on an artificial heart for nearly eight months, longer than any child in North America, according to hospital.
During the 234-day ordeal at Packard Children's Hospital in Palo Alto, Jason Zhao suffered two strokes and three brain hemorrhages.
