Domino transplants are when one person is both a donor and a receiver of an organ.
Mia Skaats, 8 months old, was born with cardiomyopathy and required a heart transplant. A second baby, Brooklyn Civil, who was not yet 3 months old, was born with one heart valve and needed a partial transplant.
Cardiovascular surgeons performed the domino transplant on Mia on May 10, 2023. Mia donated a working valve to Brooklyn and received a full heart transplant during a nine-hour surgery.
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.
