Guests: Jordan Whitson, MD, transplant pulmonologist, Duke Pulmonary and Specialty Services Clinic and Diane Ramirez, PHA Board of Trustees member and heart and lung transplant recipient
Transplantation may be a treatment option reserved for patients who are not improving on medical therapies. While transplantation can prolong survival, improve quality of life and offer a potential cure for pulmonary hypertension, it also carries risk of significant complications, and many factors need to be considered before going forward. In this episode of PH Insights, Whitson discusses what a transplant recipient can expect before and after surgery. Heart and lung transplant recipient, Diane Ramirez joins him to share her experience with the transplant process and how she’s feeling a year post transplantation.
