Palos Hospital clinic brings recovery a step closer for Oak Forest double lung transplant patient
Dr. Mrinalini, Benkata Subramani, a transplant pulmonologist, checks Michelle Knight’s heart and breathing with a stethoscope as Knight’s daughter and caregiver, Francesca Agostinelli looks on during a recent visit to the Lung Transplant Clinic at Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital. A double lung transplant has given Michelle Knight, of Oak Forest, a new lease on life when she might have given up.
Dr. Mrinalini Venkata Subramani, her pulmonologist, said she was doing great. She had end-stage COPD and was on oxygen, plus during her transplant three months ago, lung cancer was found. She also had major abdominal surgery last year, followed by weeks of rehabilitation. Subramani said when Francesca Agostinelli, Knight’s 25-year-old daughter and primary caregiver, was told about the clinic opening, she was almost in tears, “she was so relieved she didn’t have to drive downtown to appointments.”
Northwestern performed the first double-lung transplant in 2020 and its Double Lung Replacement and Multidisciplinary Care program has now performed double-lung transplants on 40 patients, including Knight, at the Northwestern Medicine Canning Thoracic Institute in Chicago.
