The achievement was generated by a 36% increase in heart transplants performed at the Vanderbilt Transplant Center between 2023 and 2024, 10 of which were pediatric procedures, according to a Jan. 13 news release from VUMC.
More than 500 patients from 15 states were referred to Vanderbilt for transplant consideration in 2024. The medical center has “advanced organ preservation technologies” and often accepts organs declined by other centers, the release said.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
