This national cohort study analyzed adult heart transplants in the United States from 2020–2024 to compare graft survival among donation after circulatory death (DCD)
Normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) is reshaping controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD) liver transplantation. By restoring oxygenated blood flow after death declaration, NRP reduces
Limb ischaemia is a serious complication of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO). This systematic review and meta-analysis of 17 studies involving 2,812 adults
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated whether ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) improves outcomes in donation after circulatory death (DCD) lung transplantation. Across five
This in vitro study examined insensible water loss and sodium accumulation in the Medtronic Nautilus ECMO oxygenator. Using varying sweep gas rates over 24
This retrospective cohort study assessed the effect of prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB ≥ 120 minutes) on gastrointestinal complications (GICs) after cardiac surgery. Analyzing 1,444
This BMJ Open study outlines a prospective cohort trial evaluating near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to monitor cerebral and renal oxygen saturation during pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass
This pilot study assesses the safety and feasibility of using a CytoSorb filter during kidney normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) before transplantation. The goal is
This study compares Del Nido (DN) and Bretschneider histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) cardioplegia solutions in a porcine model of prolonged ischaemia. DN demonstrated superior left ventricular
This retrospective study evaluates the safety and efficacy of innominate artery (IA) graft cannulation for selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (SACP) in aortic surgery. Analyzing
This study evaluates the impact of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) as a bridge to lung transplantation (BTT) for patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension
This study examines outcomes of donation after circulatory death (DCD) heart transplantation using thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion (TA-NRP). A retrospective analysis of 32 recipients
