Way to go Toni. A true inspiration!

60 transplants last year, 50 transplants so far this year. Excellent team LA Lung Transplant. Come join us for a year if you are thinking of a career in lung transplantation. Cedars-Sinai

6cm incisions! That’s only 2.5 - 3 inches! Pedro Catarino Jo Chikwe

Simultaneous lung+kidney vs lung alone in patients with poor renal function (GFR<30) finds better survival at 3years when both done together. Are we underutilizing combined lung/kidney transplants? @DominickMegnaMD Pedro Catarino The ISHLT #lungtransplant

⁦Kevin (Qiudong) Chen⁩ discussing our Minimally Invasive Lung Transplant outcomes. Generated a great discussion. #ISHLT2023 ⁦LA Lung Transplant⁩ ⁦@DominickMegnaMD⁩

Join Mark Slaughter of UofL Med School & Marcelo Cypel of University Health Network at the AATS Mechanical Support and Thoracic Transplantation Summit, June 9-10. bit.ly/3MqKcow. Following are a few program topics: DCD Donation, Use of #ECMO, Catheter based Technology, & more! #MechSummit23

Yes, it will fit! The benefit of a minimally invasive approach to #lungtransplant. 4L lung volume through a 6cm incision #transplant #surgery Cedars-Sinai

If you were wondering how a 4L donor lung can possibly be placed through a 6cm incision: gentle pressure + suction applied to the chest can do a lot! The #lung is a tremendous organ! Robotic lung transplant = smaller incision and faster recovery #transplant The ISHLT Cedars-Sinai

Robotic-assisted #lungtransplant allows highly precise movement in a small space with incisions that are tiny compared to traditional ones— with GREAT results! Dominic Emerson, MD Pedro Catarino Cedars-Sinai The ISHLT #transplant #lung

The resulting scar a few months after #robotic lung transplant. While the size of the scar isn’t the most important part of recovery from #lungtransplant, these small incisions help reduce pain and speed recovery- so patients can get back to living their lives. Cedars-Sinai

Congratulations to our spectacular PharmD, Darina Barnes, on receiving the ⁦Cedars-Sinai⁩ Presidents Award! Well deserved, you are the best! ⁦LA Lung Transplant⁩

It’s not just getting the lung in through a small incision that is challenging- the old lung also has to come out through a 6cm hole! The lung here has pulmonary fibrosis, and patient transplanted using minimally invasive #lungtranaplant with the #robot. Pedro Catarino The ISHLT

Just published! Our report on completely robotic #lungtransplantation! Fernando Ascanio Íñigo Royo Crespo Cirugía Torácica. Hospital Vall d’Hebron Archivos de Bronconeumología (FI 9,2 D1) Organización Nacional de Trasplantes

Robotic #lungtansplant can be done through an incision about 2 inches in size! Currently, the only group doing this is Cedars-Sinai. #transplant Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis

Looking forward to sharing our work on centralized EVLP at #STS2024 #EVLP #lungtransplant @CedasCTSurgery

Grateful for the opportunity to present our fully robotic lung transplant approach at the STS meeting The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Cirugía Torácica. Hospital Vall d’Hebron Vall d'Hebron
