Join us for a very special Talkback Tuesday featuring Dr. Nader Moazami.

Dr. Moazami was part of the NYU Langone Transplant Institute team to become the first center in the United States to transplant a heart using a novel method in which, after the heart has stopped beating and death has been declared, surgeons place the organ donor on cardiopulmonary bypass and blood is circulated through the body.

“This groundbreaking transplant procedure is the culmination of nearly two years of hard work to ensure all the ethical, logistical, and regulatory needs and requirements were met,” says Nader Moazami, MD, professor in the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery and surgical director of heart transplantation and mechanical circulatory support at NYU Langone.
