Wonderful discussion by @ValJeevanandam on reducing bleeding after a heart transplant. The secret to success = prevention! It all starts with selection and pre-operative preparation. @AATSHQ #AATS2023 @UChicagoCTSurg

Needed to leave #ISHLT2023 early to attend a wedding but had great discussions leading into our upcoming manuscript. Met some inspiring surgeons and trainees. Can’t wait for #ISHLT2024 in Prague! @ISHLT @TheJHLT @UChicagoCTSurg @ValJeevanandam

Every year we get better.. 66 heart transplants, 10 of which were bloodless. Amazing work that couldn’t be achieved without the hard work and dedication of our entire Heart Transplant team. 🫀
