ABSTRACT

Controlled donation after circulatory determination of death (DCD), where death is determined after cardiac arrest, has been responsible for the largest quantitative increase in Canadian organ donation

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: Hearts donated after circulatory determination of death are usually preserved with normothermic machine perfusion prior to transplantation. This type of preservation is costly, requires

ABSTRACT

Throughout the world, a shortage of donor organs has prompted development of unique strategies to expand the donor pool. Here, we review a report by Medressova and

ABSTRACT

Cold storage preservation is the standard approach for heart transplantation but is a time-limited method of care. Ex vivo heart perfusion expands the donor pool due by

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: The use of ‘extended criteria’ donor hearts and reconditioned hearts from donation after circulatory death has corresponded with an increase in primary graft dysfunction, with ischaemia-reperfusion injury being

ABSTRACT

Hearts from older donors or procured via donation after circulatory death (DCD) can alleviate transplant waitlist; however, these hearts are particularly vulnerable to injury caused by warm ischemic

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Mortality for infants on the heart transplant wait list remains unacceptably high, and available mechanical circulatory support is suboptimal. Our goal is to demonstrate the
