Announcing our first robotic lung transplant! A terrific Duke Health team effort, including Duke Surgery, Duke Anesthesiology, Duke Pulmonary Allergy and Critical Care and nursing. Indebted to our generous donor. Congrats to all - especially our rockstar patient! Photos with permission.

3 girls from 3 different parts of #NorthCarolina share a heart-to-heart connection after all 3 received life-saving surgery at Duke University Hospital. One of the girls had the world’s first living mitral valve replacement. See how it happened ➡️ duke.is/b/rj8j #HeartMonth

We’ve all faced hard decisions about accepting donor hearts with LV dysfunction: will it be reversible? Biomarkers can help you make this decision, particularly ntproBNP levels: check out the latest from the Donor Heart Study: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ej… Brian Wayda Stanford Heart Failure, Cardiac Transplant and MCS

#HeartTx candidates listed for re-transplant due to severe #CAV have higher risk of dying on the waitlist compared to all other patients at the same tier. Status 4 looks like Status 3. Status 3 looks like Status 2. Time to recalibrate? Bernard Kadosh 🔗: jhltonline.org/article/S1053-…

Academic collaboration is just saying, “we should write something together” over and over until you both die

Dr. Sarah Scheuer walks us through the evolution of #DCD heart transplantation — from its rocky beginnings to a technique that now achieves outcomes comparable to DBD and boosts transplant volumes by 20–30%. A powerful reminder of how far we've come. #ISHLT2025 Sarah Scheuer

Dr. Hassiba Smail presents 10 years of DCD experience from Royal Papworth Hospital NHS FT 💙. Pushing the boundaries has been key to advancing this technique—but so is achieving global consensus to expand the donor pool without compromising outcomes. #HeartTransplant #DCD #ISHLT2025

Can DCD help our most urgent patients? UNOS registry analysis of Status 1–2 HTx candidates. DCD willingness= +46% ↑ chance of transplant −40% ↓ risk of delisting (death/deterioration) 📈 Better 1-yr survival from waitlist 📊 Post-Tx survival: DCD = DBD #ISHLT2025

DCD seems a viable option to expand access for sensitized patients. Dr. Hisath Ameesh Isath analyzes >11,000 UNOS HTx. Among sensitized patients (cPRA>25%),DCD and DBD showed ✔️ Similar 1-year survival ✔️ Comparable rates of rejection, dialysis, stroke & graft failure #ISHLT2025

Dr. P. M. Allen explores the impact of recipient age and procurement strategy in DCD heart transplantation 🧓Older patients (≥60y) had higher 1-year mortality (8.6% vs 4.8%) confirmed by adjusted survival analysis 🫀No difference between older DCD and DBD patients 👇
