Transplantation Series: What's New in Organ Transplantation Surgery

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.

Guest: Julie K. Heimbach, M.D.

In 2024, over 48,000 organ transplants were performed in the U.S., representing an increase over the number performed the year before. There was also an increase in the number of transplants performed internationally, offering hope to patients worldwide with organ failure. Significant advancements have been made in the field of organ transplantation, and this is responsible for the success of the organ transplantation program. What are some of the major milestones that have taken place since the initial organ transplant? How has technology improved the success of an organ transplanted? What role will xenotransplantation, or transplantation of animal organs play in the future? These are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guest, Julie K. Heimbach, M.D., transplant surgeon and director of the Transplant Center at the Mayo Clinic. The topic for this podcast is “What’s New in Transplant Surgery?”
