📣 New insight on long-term outcomes after Fontan conversion! A recent study in Circulation: Heart Failure explores the long-term results of Fontan conversion surgery (FC) — a procedure aimed at improving circulation and reducing complications in patients with failing Fontan physiology. 🫀 Key takeaways: • Fontan conversion is known to lower the risk of atrial arrhythmias and thromboembolism, but its impact on long-term survival had been unclear. • This comparative analysis provides real-world evidence on outcomes over time in patients undergoing FC — addressing a major clinical gap in the care of adults with congenital heart disease. 📌 Why it matters: Improving survival and reducing complications after Fontan conversion can help guide decision-making and long-term management in a complex, high-risk patient population. #Fontan #CongenitalHeartDisease #HeartFailure #Cardiology #CirculationHeartFailure #CardioResearch #LongTermOutcomes 🫀📊 doi.org/10.1161/CIRCHE…

@ClevelandClinic Yes thank you to all the nurses and doctors, social workers and more . I know i couldn’t go through my Transplant without all of you!

Thank you to our caregivers for your unwavering dedication and unparalleled excellence all throughout 2025—you make a profound difference every single day.

Honored to lead and contribute to the future of multidisciplinary transplant care @ClevelandClinic — to become the world’s most comprehensive, innovative, and premier transplant enterprise for patients with end-stage organ failure. consultqd.clevelandclinic.org/kenneth-mccurr…

@ClevelandClinic Honestly my Anxiety started right after heart and liver transplant last in 2024. It’s been pretty ruff to be honest.

Returning home for a visit can give you A LOT to unpack — and we’re not talking about luggage. cle.clinic/496LVJy

If you’re noticing muscle loss while losing weight on a GLP-1, you can take matters into your own hands by focusing on your protein intake, staying hydrated and starting a strength training program. cle.clinic/3Xub2kk

@Buckingham_Show I’m so sorry to hear this! My heart was falling last year and my liver. I received a heart and liver transplant last year. Do they think you are a candidate for at least two of the organs?

In the ICU, my heart is failing, my lungs are failing, my liver and kidneys are failing. Things are not looking good my friends. I love you guys.

This is awesome. So this is what my new heart looks like .

A first in man, ischemia-free beating heart transplantation (IFBHT) in humans was described! This involves transplanting a heart without the typical interruption of blood flow (ischemia). See below the video and article in Lancet !

Huge congratulations to @LorenzoBragh & Chris Sefton for wrapping up their month in J3-1 CICU, the first fellows of the academic year to take it on! They set the tone with their hard work, teamwork, and dedication! 🫀 @venumenon10 @RanLeeMD @CleClinicHVTI #CCFCardsFam

@Heart_BMJ I love cardiac rehabilitation. I’m honestly going to ask my team to send me for a second round.
