The documentary will highlight the work of Macchiarini who wanted to revolutionize regenerative medicine in 2011 by implanting plastic windpipes in patients who were desperate for a cure.
As per a report by 'Deadline', Macchiarini's research was full of lies and three of the patients whom he treated died. The fourth patient got the artificial windpipe removed later.
In July 2023, a Swedish court gave the surgeon a suspended sentence for causing bodily harm during an experimental stem-cell windpipe transplant.
At that point in time, two charges of assault pressed against him were cleared. He has denied the charges.
According to the Associated Press, the Svea Court of Appeal came to a decision that two of the three patients treated didn't get any sort of emergency intervention. When we talk about the procedure on the third patient, it was not justified.
