Looking to the Future: 40 Years of Heart and Lung Transplantation at Stanford University
Forty years ago in 1968, the late Norman Shumway, MD, and a team of doctors performed the first successful heart transplant in the United States at Stanford Hospital on a 54-year-old steelworker from East Palo Alto amid an uproar of controversy and a media frenzy. Proving the naysayers and skeptics wrong, the landmark operation has since become almost routine, saving thousands of lives around the world.
Transplant survivors and scientific experts in the field of transplantation travelled to Stanford Oct. 24 for a symposium titled “Looking to the Future: 40 Years of Heart and Lung Transplantation at Stanford University” to commemorate the event and to explore the future science of heart and lung transplantation.
