Using "heart in a box" technology, surgeons at Northwestern Medicine have successfully transplanted a heart after it stopped beating.For the first time in Illinois, surgeons at Northwestern Medicine's Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute have successfully transplanted a heart after it stopped beating.
Dr. Pham was part of a team of surgeons who performed the landmark procedure two weeks ago. The surgery was a success with the patient getting stronger every day. "The alternative to this technology is the simple, old-fashioned cooler," said Dr. Benjamin Bryner, Northwestern Medicine. "But placing a donor heart on ice only preserves the heart for a few hours and that limits the ratio of where we can travel to recover a heart for transplant."
