LVADs/heart transplantation

For those of you interested in LVADs and heart transplantation, last week's episode of HOPKINS featured a young Bermudan patient who had an LVAD and received a donor heart. They show the process of procuring the heart with the surgeons flying to the donor to harvest the organ then coming back for the transplant. Parts of the operation to remove the LVAD are also shown in the episode. You can watch the video at abc.com (http://abc.go.com/player/?channel=117113).
