On the July episode of JHLT: The Podcast, the Digital Media Editors invite first author Joan Guzmán-Bofarull and senior author, Marta Farrero, both from the Hospital Clinic de Barcelona in Spain. They join to discuss the paper, "Regional differences in primary graft dysfunction: A report from the international consortium on PGD."
