  • S2 Episode 1 : What Is A ‘DCD’ Heart? (With Consultant Heart Surgeon, Mr Large)
    In this episode we chat to Stephen Large.
    The Man behind the dcd heart.
    Mr Large has spent 33 years researching new ways to transplant hearts. Along with his team, he has now developed a procedure which has increased heart transplantation at the Royal Papworth Hospital by more than 40%.
    Stephen and his team have found a way to, literally, reanimate the heart and more importantly, give more heart failure patients the chance to have a lifesaving transplant.
    If you are a pre heart transplant patient at the Royal Papworth Hospital you may be offered the option of receiving a DCD heart.
