Heart Failure & Transplant Boards
What are you planning to use for the upcoming AHF&T boards next year? HFSA course vs HFSAP? Both? I heard something about being able to take practice tests online that you can pay for.
Would appreciate any help.

MS4 - help ranking IM residencies - interested in cards
I'm an M4 from a middle tier in the NE. I interviewed everywhere, don't really have a preference for location. Especially interested in advanced heart failure (bc of my past job, past research life, mentors in the field) so am looking at these schools in terms of transplant volume as well. Would love to hear which top 3 from this list people would rank if cards match and clinical training were top priorities. If you're trying to head into this same field, would also appreciate...

Thoughts on working in a thoracic transplant (evlp) lab for a cardiac resident?
What are people's thought's on doing 3-4 years of evlp work in a thoracic lab and trying to tie that to cardiac transplant if your career goal is to become a cardiac transplant surgeon? Would that be a bad idea. The alternative would be to try to do similar but heart related work in a lab that may potentially be less desirable to work in from a lab environment/supervisor perspective with a weaker track record. Which would you choose and why? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Liver Transplant
New CA2. I just finished my first liver transplant and it was awesome.
Pt was late 60s hx of chronic Hep C and met colon CA to liver s/p resection 7 yrs ago. Diabetes, HTN but normal heart.
Case went great despite lasting 9 hrs and losing 2L of blood since it was a re-operation. "Usual" case length is 4-5 hours. 6 units of PRBCs, 5 units FFP, 6pk platelets, some cryo, 1L albumin, and 2.5L crystalloid. We went upstairs with normal ABG and no pressors.
The set-up was a beast but thank dog...

How do you do your double-triples?
The Double Triple
A triple transplant — heart, liver, kidney — is an incredibly rare procedure. Up until recently, only 15 had ever been performed. Then, over a 48-hour stretch, UChicago Medicine did two back to back.
