Welcome to ISHLT2025!

At the ISHLT Annual Meeting in Boston, Dr. Jeffrey Teuteberg showed how molecular testing like cell-free DNA is reducing biopsies, personalizing post-transplant care, and improving outcomes through earlier rejection detection and easier remote monitoring.

At the ISHLT Annual Meeting in Boston, Jitte Jennekens shared that the HOPE technique safely preserves donor lungs outside the body for up to 20 hours. In a study of 12 HOPE cases, all lungs were successfully transplanted with outcomes matching traditional methods, showing promise for extended lung preservation.

At the ISHLT Annual Meeting in Boston, Dr. Angela Lorts stressed the need for pediatric-specific MCS devices, as current adult devices are used off-label for children, leading to safety concerns and supply issues. She introduced the ACTION Network to improve awareness and collaborate on better solutions.
