ESPN really knows how to make a documentary. Check out Heart of Pearl---the story of NBA veteran Scot Pollard who had a heart transplant at Vanderbilt University. His story is inspiring. @AshShahMD @VUMCDiscoveries @BrianLimaMD @menachem_j @aniket_rali espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

The @VUMCTransplant team set a world record by performing 174 adult and pediatric heart transplants in 2024. The number of patients whose lives were saved by the heart transplant team far surpasses any previous total by an individual transplant center. news.vumc.org/2025/01/13/van…

Extraordinary year for Vanderbilt Heart. 174 heart transplants (108 DBD/66 DCD). Over 160,000 miles traveled. Spanning 46 states, Puerto Rico, and Canada. Nearly 1900 hours invested in recoveries. 75+ LVADs. Incredible teamwork. Grateful to our patients/donors. Look forward to 2025 - a year without machines? @VUMCDiscoveries @VUMC_heart @VUMCTransplant @AshShahMD @aniket_rali @menachem_j @BrianLimaMD @SDeVriesPAC
