This is our 2nd blood issue. Brisbane Australia.

Has anyone replied to this request? I just saw it. I am a coordinator in Houston, TX and your situation opens up many questions. Was the 1st surgery succesful in repairing the defect? How old was your son when the first operation was performed? Heart transplants bloodless have been done, but we need more information from you. We have done a number of heart transplants in Houston, and I have several physicians who take these cases on, but I need some more information. Please reply if you still need our assistance.
