New UHN study shows for the first time that #exvivo perfusion can sustain and allow treatment of deceased donor pancreas organ for up to four hours. Ajmera Transplant Centre UHN scientists open the door for use of ex vivo to increase pancreas organ donor pool → bit.ly/44myfqr

I was asked to record a podcast recently with the surgeon from my first transplant Marcelo Cypel 🩺 Check it out to hear my side of living almost 12years post-op now and his side as the surgeon and research lead if so many cool discoveries. Science is amazing and he is genius!

Vandy Thoracic Transplant Team breaks the sound barrier- heart lung transplant after nearly 10hrs of ischemic time using ingenious cooler at 10degrees. Normal allograft function. No ECMO. This is no humbug. ⁦@MatthewBacchet1⁩ ⁦Vanderbilt University Medical Center⁩ ⁦@VUMC_heart⁩

Today marks a remarkable milestone in medicine as we celebrate 40 years since University Health Network accomplished the world’s first successful lung transplant. This groundbreaking achievement not only saved lives but also paved the way for countless future medical innovations! 🫁

First case in Canada preserving hearts for an extended period of time using novel 10 degrees preservation cooler was a success. Congrats to the entire team at Peter Munk Cardiac Centre for pushing the boundaries to expand the donor pool. Ajmera Transplant Centre UHN @JuglansAlvarez
