Fascinating talk by @MuathBishawi at #MechSummit2026 on HALT for highly sensitized patients 🫀 🔹 The liver acts as an immunologic "sponge," absorbing circulating antibodies
🔹 Persistent suppression of DSA - except in cases of transient liver dysfunction @AATSHQ

Dr. Bartley Griffith performed a “first-in-the-world surgery” that will offer “an important new option for #patients in the future.” The @UMmedschool & @UMMC team completed a transplant of a genetically modified pig’s heart, saving the patient’s life. bit.ly/3tfYDCM
