The New York Times “Well” blog ran a post by Samuel Weinstein, M.D., describing the typically intense but rewarding pediatric heart transplant. Dr. Weinstein outlines what a surgeon can expect, from the first call that a donor organ is available to the final suture. Dr. Weinstein is associate professor of clinical cardiovascular and thoracic surgery at Einstein and director of pediatric cardiothoracic surgery and of adult congenital cardiac surgery at Montefiore Medical Center.
