100th Pediatric Heart Transplant

A team including pediatric cardiac surgeon Muhammad Mumtaz, MD, cardiologist Gerard Boyle, MD, and transplant nurse Colleen Nasman, RN, performed Cleveland Clinic’s 100th pediatric heart transplant on December 2. The patient was a 6-year-old girl from Elyria, Ohio, whose heart was attacked by a virus when she was only six 
weeks old, leading to heart failure. Today, she continues to 
do well.
