In a first-of-its-kind surgery for #LongIsland, the Northwell Health Transplant Institute performed a successful three-organ transplant on Sergio Arias Cestoni who was in various stages of heart, liver and kidney failure. Mr. Cestoni was diagnosed with ischemic cardiomyopathy in 2018 and had been on the heart and kidney transplant waiting lists for two years, and began to see his liver function erode from the impact of cirrhosis. But a miraculous second chance emerged when three organs from the same donor matched. Over 14 hours later, at the specialty-built Petrocelli Surgical Pavilion inside North Shore University Hospital 13 surgeons working in three shifts, along with two different OR nursing teams delivered a medical miracle. “It’s a great milestone and signifies that the most complex operations can happen here and happen here well,” said Dr. Nabil Dagher, vice president and director of the Northwell Transplant Institute. “Very few programs can do this. Patients can expect excellent outcomes.” 🔗 Read the full story here: https://bit.ly/41MKGgm
