Saving Two Babies’ Lives With One Pioneering Approach to Heart Valve Transplantation

In a first-of-its-kind “domino” transplant in infants, cardiac surgeons at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital performed a heart transplant in one baby, and then transplanted valves from her old heart into another infant — saving two lives and paving the way to save more. Learn more about how our research saves the lives of children.
