More #livers will be appropriate for transplantation because @NM_Transplant now has access to warm AND cold liver perfusion. @danielborja77, transplant surgeon @NorthwesternMed, describes the innovative process.
Congratulations to the Northwestern Medicine Transplant Center team for completing their 2,500th #LiverTransplant surgery and making ours the first health system in Illinois to reach this achievement.
Thank you to our physicians and staff, and to the selfless donors and their families for making thousands of patients’ lives better.
