- 2021 sucked, but not if you have H/L failure at @DukeMedSchool! 116 heart transplants 111 lung transplants 76 @AbbottNews HeartMate3 LVADs 54 @ABiomed Impella 5.5 >180 ECMO ??? Largest thoracic organ failure center in the world ??? All in @DurhamNC @_adevore @benbryner
- What’s a double triple you say??? Well, it’s when you do >100 🫀tx and >100 🫁tx in a year. Yet again, @DukeHeartCenter the only center in the country (oh, wait, I meant the world!!!) to continue to do that! @_adevore @robmentz @smccartney31 @brandi_bottiger @richa_agarwalMD
- Despite pandemic, we did our 16th and 17th #DCDHeart transplants this week. All are doing well. If we can extend this to more centers the goal of expanding the donor pool by 30% is achievable. @DukeHeartCenter @DukeCTSurgery #DonateLife @AshShahMD @JasonWSmithMD
- Today is my birthday. Half of my life ago, at age 24, there were serious concerns I may not make it to 25. I thought there was no chance. Thank you to my parents who always stood by me, and @cloues_sarah, my sister, who put up with my bullshit and watched over me for many years!
- People say temp MCS used to game 🫀allocation. Thus far this week at @DukeHeartCenter: 5 🫀tx All status 4s Match sequences 135, 189, 44, 49, 35 (National ave is 3!!!) 4/5 all other centers coded out. All patients doing well @DukeHrtFailure expanding 🫀donor pool! Rule 76…
- Congratulations to @DukeHeartCenter, Jack Haney, Jacob Klapper. @mghartwigmd and the whole Lung Tx team for 150 lung transplants this academic year. Just crushing it, saving lives through transplant ion and the gift of life!!!
- In 10 months US #DCDHeart trial finished enrolling 90 successful DCD transplants. Standard of care control arm lagging behind, with approx 70 HTx... doesn’t that say it all? @DukeHeartCenter leading the way with 34 DCDs!!! Expand Donor Pool, Expand. #DonateLife
- An amazing effort that involved hundreds of people to get a person from cardiac arrest to ECMO to ECMO/Impella to Carmat to heart transplant. @DukeHeartCenter is the best. Everyday I get up and come to work excited to see how we are going to find new ways save more lives.Matthew Moore has a new heart after living 4 months without a human heart beating in his chest. @DukeCTSurgery transplant surgeons performed the #HeartTransplant 11/22, swapping out the artificial heart that kept him alive. @DukeHrtFailure | @DukeHeartCenter | @DukeHospital
- In May @DukeHeartCenter @DukeCTSurgery did 1st multiorgan DCD involving heart tx (h/kidney) in North America!!! Thx to @sarahcasi & @_adevore for pushing this through & as always @benbryner for his hard work with me getting 3 DCDs done that week. Pt doing great. #DonateLife
- 1 of this things I love about it being 2019??? I turn on @espn @SarahSpain & @minakimes are all over it. 2 of the most interesting & insightful sportswriters, regardless of gender. We have a long way to go w/ gender equality, but makes me think my Hazel and Aggie have a shot
- Best aHF team in the world. Supported by the best Tx ID team in the world. Couldn’t imagine doing what we do without @camwolfe and company!
- #DCDHeart number 49!!!!
- Replying to @JacobNiallUpdate- @DukeHeartCenter’s week: 8🫀tx- 6 status 4, 2 status 3 Minimal interest from other centers for those donors. Xenotransplant is amazing & will be a big part of the future. But we have the hearts we need. RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. @_adevore @heartdoc_chet @robmentz
