In just four days, the transplant team at Houston VA performed a heart transplant, a multi-organ kidney/liver transplant, two kidney transplants, and two liver transplants. Six Veterans lives were changed forever. bddy.me/3to7K6g. #HoustonVA

@JDGomezMD @Dr_M_Alsayid @ruben_hernaez @GCholankeril @HowardTLeeMD @nicole_rich8 @CLindenmeyerMD @john_ricemd @AtoosaRabiee While in a long flight, lactulose and diuretics would be difficult to take as scheduled. CPT C have high probability of varices that might bleed.

@Dr_M_Alsayid @ruben_hernaez @GCholankeril @avegailf @HowardTLeeMD @nicole_rich8 @CLindenmeyerMD @john_ricemd @AtoosaRabiee Nope, last variceal banding was in 2019 and hasn’t had any since then, He is scheduled for an EGD but hasn’t happened yet.

Patient with decompensated cirrhosis MELD-Na 30s with h/o large volume ascites and EV bleed is asking if he can take a 15 hour flight to India, is it safe? @ruben_hernaez @GCholankeril @avegailf @HowardTLeeMD @nicole_rich8 @CLindenmeyerMD @ChengHanNg @john_ricemd @AtoosaRabiee

@JDGomezMD @Dr_M_Alsayid @ruben_hernaez @GCholankeril @HowardTLeeMD @nicole_rich8 @CLindenmeyerMD @john_ricemd @AtoosaRabiee An airline might not let them him travel with them if he looks unwell and his condition may worsen during the flight.

Avegail Flores@avegailf·5 Ara

@JDGomezMD @ruben_hernaez @GCholankeril @HowardTLeeMD @nicole_rich8 @CLindenmeyerMD @john_ricemd @AtoosaRabiee The only safe place for him is in the transplant list and to stay until after transplant. Agree with a frank discussion of a high short-term morality risk that may occur while in the flight.
