DOI: 10.1097/01.tp.0000543662.16845.ed
Abstract: Background The success of heart transplantation has allowed the consideration of older and sicker recipients for transplant but has necessitated consideration of hearts from “extended criteria” donors for transplant. We have successfully repurposed glyceryl trinitrate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ajt.17051
Abstract: Solid organ transplantation continues to be constrained by a lack of suitable donor organs. Advances in donor management and evaluation are needed to address this shortage, but the performance of research studies in deceased donors… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ctr.12996
Abstract: Assessing the QT interval in donors is important to exclude long QT syndrome as the cause of death. A donor heart with a corrected QT (QTc) >500 milliseconds is often concerning. We sought to evaluate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jocs.16519
Abstract: Critical donor shortages have impulsed the need to expand donor heart eligibility through the use of marginal hearts in cardiac transplantation. Donor valvular disease has been considered as an absolute contraindication for transplant. A 39‐year‐old… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/tri.13707
Abstract: A myocardial bridge (MB) in a donor heart is a relative contraindication to heart transplantation (HTx) (1). We have successfully transplanted a donor heart with a MB found at pre-donation coronarography employing ex-vivo perfusion with… read more here.

Metabolic reprogramming by immune-responsive gene 1 up-regulation improves donor heart preservation and function
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Science Translational Medicine"
DOI: 10.1126/scitranslmed.ade3782
Abstract: Preservation quality of donor hearts is a key determinant of transplant success. Preservation duration beyond 4 hours is associated with primary graft dysfunction (PGD). Given transport time constraints, geographical limitations exist for donor-recipient matching, leading… read more here.
