A Matter of the Heart
11.27.12
On Wednesday, Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach has arranged the first meeting between a donor’s family, Deborah Atkinson and Nick Atkinson, who donated the heart of husband and father Dusty Atkinson in 1992, and the man whose life it saved, retired Newport Beach lawyer Dennis Harwood. The heart surgeons Dr. Aidan Raney and Dr. Douglas Zusman who performed the life-saving transplant 20 years ago will also be there.
Today, Heart & Vascular Institute is one of the world’s most advanced cardiac operating suites (pictured above) with a hybrid cardiovascular operating room that includes a custom robot—designed by BMW and featuring an imaging system with 3D and 4D reconstructive software—that is used to see blood vessels, tissues and organs during cardiac surgery, angioplasty and endovascular procedures.
