## Resource

On this episode of Advances in Care, Dr. Steven Lobritto, pediatric medical director for liver transplant at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia, joins host Erin Welsh to tell the story of the high-risk pediatric partial liver transplant to save the life of a two month old baby, after the center where the baby was originally treated deemed her inoperable. Dr. Lobritto explains how he and his team coordinated with the patient’s initial care team across the country to prepare the critically ill, 11-pound baby to fly to New York, and the intricacies of the surgical procedure. He also describes how this case demonstrates the need for universal surgical training in partial liver transplant, to help save the lives of more young patients.
