Sarah Lowe, Global Clinical Operations Director at XVIVO, develops technologies to preserve, assess, and transport organs for transplantation. With advanced assessment of donor lungs, the mission is to evaluate marginal organs better to address the critical challenge that only 2 out of 10 available lungs are currently accepted for transplant. With their first in-house ex vivo lung perfusion program, the goal is to increase organ utilization and expand access to transplants. Sarah explains, "At XVIVO, our vision really is that nobody should die waiting for a new organ. As a company, we develop technologies that allow our clinicians to preserve, assess, and transport organs. So, in doing so, we're able to be part of the solution by helping increase the number of organs available for transplantation. In my role at XVIVO, I get to work closely with clinical teams and partners to support the implementation of our technologies and their programs, not only in the US but around the world. So really everything that we do is centered around helping more patients receive those lifesaving transplants."   "So this collaboration is so incredibly important, not only for XVIVO. I think for the transplant community as a whole, it brings advanced lung assessment directly into the organ recovery process. XVIVO lung perfusion- you'll hear me say EVLP. It is placed into the workflow at the organ procurement organization level rather than in a separate step later in transplantation." "So Indiana Donor Network, I'll call it IDN, is the first organ recovery organization in the US that has an in-house lung perfusion program. And through this partnership, IDN can assess donor lungs using EVLP before transplantation decisions are finalized. So for us, it does matter for a few reasons. And I think it's important to emphasize that two in 10 lungs are transplanted, which means that 80% of them are declined." #XVIVO #OrganTransplantation #HealthcareInnovation #MedTech #PatientOutcomes #TransplantMedicine #LungTransplant #EVLP #OrganDonation #TransplantInnovation #IndianaDonorNetwork #PerfusionSolution #HealthcareInnovation #OPO #PatientCare XVIVOgroup.com Listen to the podcast here

After 17 years living with cardiomyopathy, Terri Cecere received a life-saving heart transplant. Moved by the generosity that saved his wife, her caregiver husband, George, decided to give back in the ultimate way—by donating a kidney to a total stranger. Kent has an inspiring conversation with George and Terri Cecere as they unpack the emotional journey of transplantation, the realities of caregiving, and how a single act of kindness can ripple out to save multiple lives. In this episode, we discuss: The Caregiver's Perspective: The unspoken emotional realities of supporting a loved one through chronic illness and organ failure. Paying It Forward: How receiving one gift of life inspired George to become a living kidney donor. Debunking Living Donation: Why altruistic kidney donation is far more doable—and needed—than most people realize. Building a Community: How George founded TCH Caregiver's Heart to ensure transplant caregivers never have to walk the path alone. For more information on kidney donation and support, reach out to Kent at Kidney Solutions or call him directly at 830-285-2140.

Episode 388 Two extraordinary breakthroughs have been made in transplant surgery. First, scientists have found a way of keeping human eyes alive for up to 10 hours after death, opening up the possibility of eye transplants in the future.  And in a second controversial surgery, another team has managed to restore severed spinal cords in pigs, allowing them to walk again after being paralysed. While it's hoped this will eventually allow people with spinal injuries to walk again, one of the scientists involved is a proponent of human head transplants - or body transplants as they should really be known. Is that the ultimate goal? Find out how the scientists achieved these feats - and what's required to take both surgeries to the next level.

Several years ago, in 2016, we told a story about Amy Pearl. For as long as she could remember, Amy loved meat in all its glorious cuts and marbled flavors. And then one day, for seemingly no reason, her body wouldn't tolerate it.  No steaks. No brisket. No weenies. It made no sense: why couldn't she eat something that she had routinely enjoyed for decades?  It turned out Amy was not alone. And the answer to her mysterious allergy involved maps, a dancing lone star tick, and a very particular sugar called Alpha Gal.  In this update, we discover that our troubles with Alpha Gal go way beyond food. We go to NYU Langone Health hospital to see the second ever transplant of a kidney from a pig into a human, talk to some people at Revivicor, the company that bred the pig in question, and go back to Amy to find out what she thinks about this brave new world. The original episode was reported by Latif Nasser, and produced by Annie McEwen and Matt Kielty. Sound design and scoring from Dylan Keefe, Annie McEwen, and Matt Kielty. Mix by Dylan Keefe with Arianne Wack. The update was reported and produced by Sarah Qari. It was sound designed, scored, and mixed by Jeremy Bloom.

This dual-topic episode goes deep. Stair Cases to Nowhere:We talk about the phenomenon of the stair cases to nowhere. From time to time, forest rangers and hikers have discovered mysterious structures deep in the woods that leave them feeling disoriented and “off” after they climbed them. After coming in contact with the staircases, these people experienced awful nightmares and paranormal activity. Transplant Memory:There have been cases where after having an organ transplant, the person who received the transplant began to experience cravings, thoughts, dreams and memories that are not their own. This topic hits home as our co-host Adam received a life-saving heart transplant in 2021. After a series of sicknesses and hospital visits, Adam was given the news that his heart was dying, and he needed a transplant in order to live. Adam gives his personal account of receiving a heart transplant and the after effects that living with another person‘s organ can create.

On today's episode of Deep Cuts Exploring Equity in Surgery, we sit down with Dr. Ashley Suah and Dr. Andrea Liu to explore the field of transplant surgery from the personal past that led them to the specialty to the ethical dilemmas behind organ allocation and the ongoing work to make transplant care more equitable. We discuss what it actually takes to get a patient onto the waiting list and through transplant, the persistent racial and socioeconomic disparities that shape who gets access to care and how those biases show up at every stage of the process, and why growing diversity in the surgical and transplant workforce is essential to building trust and better serving minority patients. We also dig into what meaningful representation looks like in practice. Not just at the bedside, but in research, leadership, and the decisions that shape policy, and why public trust in the system remains essential to its survival. This conversation highlights both the deep challenges and the profound life-changing impact of transplant care.  Dr. Ashley Suah is a board-certified transplant surgeon who specializes in kidney and liver transplant. She is an advocate for eliminating racial and gender disparities with regards to transplant surgery, and post-transplant care. Dr. Andrea Liu is a general surgery resident at the University of Chicago, with interests in transplant surgery.  Deep Cuts comes to you from the Department of Surgery at the University of Chicago, which is located on Ojibwe, Odawa and Potawatomi land.

Can misinformation keep someone from receiving a life-saving transplant? In this episode, Amy Sylvis welcomes back Dr. Kamyar Afshar, Medical Director of the UC San Diego Lung Transplant Program, to tackle some of the most common misconceptions surrounding lung transplantation and organ donation. Drawing from years of clinical experience, Dr. Afshar explains why misinformation, outdated statistics, and generalized medical advice can create unnecessary fear for patients already facing one of the most difficult decisions of their lives. Together, Amy and Dr. Afshar discuss what modern transplant outcomes actually look like, why individualized care matters more than statistics, and how trust between patients and their care team plays a critical role throughout the transplant journey. They also explore common myths about organ donation, the importance of communicating your wishes with loved ones, and how a collaborative, patient-centered approach continues to make the impossible possible for transplant recipients.   Connect with Dr. Kamyar Afshar: UC San Diego Health Phone: (858) 657-5050 Email: kaafshar@health.ucsd.edu   Connect with Amy Sylvis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amysylvis/   Contact Us: https://www.sylviscapital.com https://www.sylviscapital.com/webinar info@sylviscapital.com   00:00 – Why Lung Transplant Myths Matter 05:13 – Myth #1: Transplant Survival Rates Haven't Improved 09:05 – Myth #2: Every Risk Will Happen to Me 14:03 – Building Trust Between Patients and Providers 19:58 – Hope Over Certainty 22:57 – Making the Impossible Possible 24:48 – Myth #3: Doctors Won't Save Organ Donors 27:54 – Why Organ Donation Starts with a Conversation

Dr. Steve gets emergency-called because Opie, the legendary Carl Ruiz, Sherrod Small, and Mike Vecchione are dying over a transplant story that went way too far south. one of the most unhinged stories ever told on radio. A guy gets extremely particular about his donor “upgrade”… and yes, color was on the menu, and once Dr. Steve starts dropping the real medical details… the whole room loses it. Filthy laughs, jaw-dropping facts, and classic Opie chaos from the best (and final) year of the show.Donating to the show helps us make more!

As Norway's crown princess, Mette-Marit, convalesces from lung transplant surgery, we bring together patients and doctors to share their experiences of this major life-saving procedure. Since the 1980s, lung transplantations have become increasingly routine, but as every operation relies on suitable donor organs becoming available, the timing is always uncertain.“Everything was so quick, everything was so scary,” says Aimee Morrison, who received her new lungs last year, only months after being told she had a chronic degenerative condition, “You don't really get an opportunity to think about what's happening … 10-12 hr surgery, unknown results, what's going to happen afterwards…” As we hear, Aimee's story was particularly dramatic as only a week before her operation she had given birth to her daughter. Lung transplant patients require life-long aftercare from physicians like Dr Vicky Gerovasili, as their condition will always eventually deteriorate. “That can be very emotionally stressful,” she says,”but it's also very rewarding because we are becoming part of their life and their family. I sign off patients to go scuba diving, travel the world and that's fantastic to see.”

On today's podcast David, Jason and Natalie sit down with Ilya to talk about his new hair transplant, how much it cost and whether David might be getting the same procedure. And David gets upset with John about a gardening mishap, Natalie causes some drama by posting some Tiktoks and Jason has two incredible fan interactions. Also, the World Cup hits LA, getting 3 million followers in one day, and a $3000 pickleball bet.

This Skeptical Sunday, Jessica Wynn explains how dialysis became a $50B industry where under 40% of patients survive five painful years of dependence.Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Jessica Wynn!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1336On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Dialysis is a life-sustaining external filtration system for the roughly 800,000 Americans in kidney failure — but it's grueling. Most patients endure three to five hours per session, three times a week, indefinitely, and fewer than 40% survive beyond five years.The financial structure is staggering. Dialysis is a $50 billion-a-year US industry, with Medicare spending about $36 billion annually — roughly 7% of its entire budget for under 1% of the population. Two companies, DaVita and Fresenius, control about 70% of all clinics.The system rewards permanence over cure. Since 1972, Medicare has covered kidney failure for everyone regardless of age, creating guaranteed, indefinite revenue. Transplants and home dialysis are cheaper and better for patients, yet under-incentivized because they cost providers customers.The human and safety toll is severe. Infections cause 36% of dialysis deaths, sepsis mortality runs 100 to 300 times higher than average, and understaffing worsens outcomes. Many patients lose their jobs, mobility, and social lives — some choose to stop treatment entirely.The hopeful part: much kidney disease is preventable or delayable, and you have real power here. Manage diabetes and hypertension aggressively, get your kidneys checked with a simple blood and urine test, and see a nephrologist early — catching it sooner can dramatically slow progression.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
