Javier C Lendoire graduated with the Honor Degree at the University of Buenos Aires. His general surgical training was completed at the Hospital Español of Buenos Aires. In 1989 he was awarded with the Rotary Foundation Scholarship for International Understanding and began his training in Hepatobiliary Surgery and Liver Transplantation at the Transplant Division of the University of Pittsburgh in charge of Thomas Starzl. 

In 1993 Javier Lendoire as Vice Chairman opened with Oscar Imventarza the first Public Adult Liver Transplant Program of Argentina in the Hospital Dr C Argerich of Buenos Aires. Also, they developed the first Liver Transplant Program of the Litoral Region located in Formosa City and the Liver Tx and HPB Unit in Sanatorio Trinidad Mitre of Buenos Aires. Dr Lendoire became Chairman of Liver Transplantation at ITAC, Buenos Aires in 2019.

In 2003 he received his Ph.D from the University of Buenos Aires and in 2007 he was appointed Professor of Surgery at the same University.

Dr Lendoire is founding member and Past-President of the Argentine Society of Transplantation, Council Member since 2003 and Past President of the Argentine Chapter of the IHPBA (CA-IHPBA).

Episode 12:Dr D'Angelica - Colorectal Liver Metastases and Hepatic Artery Infusion Pumps

In this episode, we had the honor of interviewing Dr. Mike D’Angelica, program director of both the HPB and Surgical Onocology fellowships at Memorial Sloan Kettering. He is the Enid A Haupt Chair in Surgery at MSK and the current president of the AHPBA.

In this episode, we took at deep dive into the use of hepatic artery infusion pumps and, more broadly, Dr. D’Angelica’s approach to the treatment of patients with CRLM. This is a real crash course into the use of this modality, and should be of interest to everyone from early trainees to attending surgeons wanting to learn more about HAIPs. We really enjoyed this interview, as is evidenced by the fact that it went for over an hour, and we hope you enjoy it as well.
