Donna Jackson was one of the first people that had an LVAD placed at Stanford. The procedure is meant as a bridge to heart transplant. After almost 3 years on the LVAD Jackson's heart had gotten so strong that doctors at Stanford were able to do a minor and new catheter-based procedure that liberated Jackson from the LVAD’s batteries, controller and external driveline.
