This week it's National Pediatric Transplant Week and we review a recent work on ECMO following cardiac transplant and speak with its first author, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics in Vanderbilt University, Dr. Justin Godown. How does the use of ECMO in the postoperative period influence outcomes in the short and long term? Are there differences in outcomes when it is used for patients with cardiomyopathy versus congenital heart disease? We review all of these and more with Dr. Godown. We speak also with Melissa McQueen of Transplantfamilies.org about her organization which strives to educate and support the families of children undergoing transplantation. Ms. McQueen's story is certainly an inspiring one. doi: 10.1111/petr.1341
