Great job by @avigoldman35838 (right atrial mass) and Cece Shuler (LVAD implantation) on earning awards at the Skandalakis Surgical Anatomy Competition! Thanks to @EmorySurgery and the Aspiring Surgeons Program for a great event, and to the Chan Lab for coming out to support!

Our new paper is out in EJCTS on graft dysfunction after heart transplantation! Postop PGD is marked by persistent mitochondrial energetic disruption on serial plasma metabolomics, with succinate emerging as a central signal linked to oxidative stress. academic.oup.com/ejcts/artic…

Orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) remains the definitive therapy for patients with end-stage heart failure.

Excited to share our work on predictors of heart transplant graft dysfunction! Ultra-high-resolution metabolomics shows preop arachidonic acid inflammatory signaling, impaired myocardial energetics are associated with developing severe PGD. @jdpreston30 amjtransplant.org/article/S1…

Recipient plasma metabolomics as a predictor of heart transplant severe primary graft dysfunction

Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality following orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT), yet its biology remains unclear, and metabolomics research is limited....

Triple duty from @ChrisL_He repping the lab at #ISHLT2025 1️⃣ Uncomplicated HM3 long-term outcomes as good as OHT 2️⃣ EVLP enables use of higher-risk lungs with comparable survival 3️⃣ Impella support up to 93 days shown to be safe @EmoryCTSurgery @EmoryLungtxp:
