Patients With Thymus Removed During Cardiac Surgery - Long-Term Health

Request from Scientific American: Thymus removal during surgery Hello, I'm a reporter at Scientific American and I'm working on a story about the thymus. As I understand it, people who undergo cardiac surgery sometimes also get their thymus removed, as the organ was historically not seen as having much importance for adults. Now, new research is starting to contradict that perception. I'm looking to speak with patients who've had their thymus removed during cardiac surgery, and thought this subreddit might be a good place to connect. If you think you might fit that description, feel free to message me here or by email. Thank you! —Jackie Flynn Mogensen, [email redacted]
