# One Heart, Three Lives Saved: A Medical Miracle in NYC

In a stunning medical feat, doctors at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital saved the lives of three young children using a single heart transplant.  An 11-year-old girl's donated heart provided the life-saving gift, but the story doesn't end there.

## A Chain of Hope

The girl's heart transplant not only saved her life but also provided viable heart valves for two boys in critical need: 3.5-year-old Teddy Carter from Long Island and 2-year-old John Catoliato from Westchester County. Both boys suffered from severe heart conditions requiring urgent valve replacements.

Teddy received the aortic valve, while John received the pulmonary valve.  The successful procedure was the result of a complex, almost 24-hour surgical effort by Dr. David Kalfa and his team.

## 'Heart Brothers'

The remarkable outcome has left the families overwhelmed with gratitude.  The boys, now thriving eight months post-surgery, share a unique bond—a connection forged by the generous gift of life.

"We call them 'heart brothers.' They're connected for life," shared Teddy's mother, Katie Carter.  The families express immense gratitude to the 11-year-old donor and the medical team that made this extraordinary event possible.
