On this episode of JHLT: The Podcast, the Digital Media Editors invite lead author Jonathan E. Williams, MD, to discuss the paper, “Ex-Vivo Lung Perfusion: National Trends and Post-Transplant Outcomes.” Dr. Williams is a general surgery resident at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, with work focusing on contemporary lung preservation strategies, perfusion techniques, and particularly, EVLP. The episode explores: How the study explores the theory that EVLP use may increase transplant volumes Preserving data quality and other study limitations How to work in fields of study that sometimes yield as many questions as answers For the latest studies from JHLT, visit www.jhltonline.org/current, or, if you’re an ISHLT member, access your Journal membership at www.ishlt.org/jhlt. Those on heart transplant teams should tune in again later this month for a study on sympathetic reinnervation in cardiac transplant recipients. Don’t already get the Journal and want to read along?
