ESPN really knows how to make a documentary. Check out Heart of Pearl---the story of NBA veteran Scot Pollard who had a heart transplant at Vanderbilt University. His story is inspiring. @AshShahMD @VUMCDiscoveries @BrianLimaMD @menachem_j @aniket_rali

Extraordinary year for Vanderbilt Heart. 174 heart transplants (108 DBD/66 DCD). Over 160,000 miles traveled. Spanning 46 states, Puerto Rico, and Canada. Nearly 1900 hours invested in recoveries. 75+ LVADs. Incredible teamwork. Grateful to our patients/donors. Look forward to 2025 - a year without machines?
