Thank you so much @slusom for seeing the strength in my story.
From moments that tried to break me to standing here today, this is only the beginning of my journey to CT surgery
Resilience is built in the moments no one sees.
And through all of it, we made it

Important study led by @MaxamillionShin, highlighting that patients waitlisted for DCD hearts experience shorter waitlist duration and improved rates of transplant - further data that demonstrate the benefit of expanding the donor pool with DCD organs. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jchf.…

ICYMI, in a single, intense 24-hour period, pediatric heart surgeons @ColumbiaMed took on a surgical feat rarely performed—a split domino heart transplant. A donor's heart is transplanted into a child, and the healthy parts of that child’s explanted heart are used to save two additional lives.

Dr. M. Shin analyzes heart transplant outcomes in patients ≥65 yrs 🧓🫀. DCD listing vs DBD:
✔️ Shorter waitlist time (24 vs 31 days)
✔️ ↑ likelihood of transplant
✔️ ↓ waitlist mortality
📈 1-yr post-Tx survival: DCD = DBD (90% vs 88%)
