        <description><![CDATA[<p>Does anyone know if there is a patient summit planned for 2026?</p><p>I saw there was on in NY and last year outside of Philly. Would be interesting if something would be near Baltimore and get the medical community involved (Johns Hopkins and UMMC). I know one of my surgeons is deep into research.</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>❤️ Heart transplant recipients will have an enlarged left atrium. Basically, a &ldquo;double atrium!&rdquo; So, don&rsquo;t freak out if your echo mentions this. At first you might think, &ldquo; what&rsquo;s wrong?&rdquo; But what happened is your new pre-owned heart needed something to attach to. This is why your echo will show a huge or large left atria. </p><p>Do you know of any other heart transplant fun facts? Or other organ transplant interesting facts? Share them in the discussion.</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>This week, I had the honor of recording a new TransplantLyfe podcast episode with Tim Andrews, and wow&hellip; this conversation really stayed with me.</p><p>Tim made history by receiving a genetically modified pig kidney that worked for nine months. He&rsquo;s now back on dialysis and waiting for a human kidney, but his willingness to step forward and move science ahead has already made a huge impact on the transplant community.</p><p>We talked openly about hope, resilience, and what it means to keep going when the journey isn&rsquo;t easy. It was honest, emotional, and incredibly meaningful &mdash; and a powerful reminder of why sharing patient stories matters so much.</p><p>I&rsquo;m really grateful to Tim for trusting me with his story and for everything he continues to do for future transplant recipients.</p><p>I&rsquo;ll add the episode link here &mdash; I hope you&rsquo;ll take a listen. The episode is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you usually listen to podcasts.</p><p><a href="https://transplantlyfe.com/education/podcasts/lyfetalks" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">TransplantLyfe &mdash; TransplantLyfe</a></p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Sadly the xenograft that lasted almost 9 months is now removed. I believe this was the longest xenograft since the 1964 chimpanzee graft. In interviews, Tim says that this still gave him tine off dialysis and he appreciated this very much.</p><p><a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/27/health/pig-kidney-transplant-tim-andrews" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/27/health/pig-kidney-transplant-tim-andrews</a></p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello Everyone 👋🏾,</p><p>I am 2 years post Kidney transplant and I just signed on to be a part of a study. How many of you or who has been a part of a post transplant study. There is an optional portion where they want to do two kidney biopsies. I&#39;ve had plenty of biopsies before with no problems, however I just got this kidney it&#39;s starting to do better than ever I am irrationally and illogically afraid to do that optional part of the study but I want to do it. For Science! And the transplant recipients that might benefit from this study.</p>]]>
