Can JMU beat Oregon? Probably not. But do they deserve to be there? 💯 (and you can blame the entire ACC conference if you are salty about it).

"Transplantation is a logistics issue... We as an industry have to evolve."
Lisa Anderson, Ph.D., cofounder and President at @ParagonixSherpa, spoke about transforming the organ transplant experience at the 2025 #ForbesHealth Summit. forbes.com/sites/rachelpeach…
We had a fantastic time at #WTC2025.
If you missed the presentations, happy to share with your team the data on over 900 patients in the LIVERguard GUARDIAN registry. @ParagonixSherpa @ATCMeeting @ASTSChimera
FOUR YEAR IMPROVED SURVIVAL by using SherpaPak instead of ice. In the transplant journey, preservation plays a small short term role but with moderate hypothermia via the SherpaPak the potential long term benefit can be significant!
The GUARDIAN-Heart Registry collects thousands of data points to help redefine preservation standards. Most recently, investigators presented 4-year mortality rates of U.S. adult heart recipients using the SherpaPak vs ice. A significant 54% decrease (p=0.018) was discovered, with enhanced survival rates at each yearly interval compared to traditional ice: mpo-mag.com/breaking-news/pa…

A few years ago, most CT programs couldn’t imagine allowing another surgeon to recover their donor hearts or lungs. Will this be the next evolution in transplantation?
It is with great excitement that the team at Paragonix announces a new organ recovery initiative to establish a cost-effective alternative to traditional private charters.

Congrats @yshudo1007 and the Stanford CT team on this case with @ParagonixSherpa BAROguard, our new second generation active lung device that maintains inflation pressure as well as consistent moderate hypothermic pressure during transport and storage of donor lungs.
In a recent life-saving multiorgan transplant operation, Dr. @yshudo1007, Dr. Glenn Pelletier, and the team used a lung protection device to preserve the donor lungs 🫁 during its journey to @StanfordHealth 🏥. Read more: ow.ly/5bkv50Sy5MR

Tune in for the latest episode of our podcast on all things transplant. A heartfelt thanks to Dr. @FiedlerAmy for joining to discuss heart transplantation - the conversation highlighted so many incredible initiatives, including the phenomenal work of @TeamHeartRwanda!
Today is my five year anniversary at Paragonix. It has been the most dynamic innovative place I have ever had the privilege to work.
Rarely does one have an opportunity to be part of changing the standard of care.
I feel incredibly fortunate. @ParagonixSherpa
