a. Met with success rate of 100%
b. Met with failure rate of 100%

ANSWER: Both b and c
 
The organ was surgically removed after the 26 year old woman recipient developed serious complications. This was one of 10 uterine transplants planned by the Cleveland Clinic. A successful transplant would have meant that women could give birth without being originally with a uterus. The recipient was a woman born without a uterus.
