    Abstract Objectives: Heart transplantation represents the most effective therapy that is currently available for end-stage heart failure. Despite the shortage of organ donors, many donor hearts are not accepted for transplantation due to poor function. Targeted donor management may increase the donor heart utilization rate. The aim of this study is to analyse a 2-year experience of early donor management through the 'scout programme' by a high-volume national cardiothoracic organ retrieval team.
    Methods: A prospective cohort study was carried out between 2013 and 2015 on consecutive donation from brain-dead donors. A member of the cardiothoracic retrieval team travelled to the intensive care unit of the donor hospital to assist with early management.
    Results: One hundred and seventy-eight cardiac donors were enrolled; 106 (59.5%) were 'scouted', and 72 (40.5%) were 'non-scouted'. Donor heart utilization rate in the 'scouted' group was 47.2% (50/106) compared with 30.6% (22/72) in the 'non-scouted' group (P = 0.03). On logistic regression analysis, early donor management by the scouts independently predicted donor heart utilization. The time in the operating theatre from donor arrival to skin incision was significantly reduced in the 'scouted' group. No differences were found in the 30-day graft failure rate or the 30-day, 1-year and 2-year survival rates of the recipients between the 2 groups.
    Conclusions: Early donor management delivered by the cardiothoracic retrieval team significantly increased the donor heart utilization rate from existing donors. Moreover, the time in the operating theatre from donor heart arrival to skin incision was significantly reduced.

    Abstract Background: In an effort to address the increasing demand for heart transplantation within the United Kingdom (UK), we established a clinical program of heart transplantation from donation after circulatory-determined death (DCD) donors in 2015. After 5 years, we report the clinical early outcomes and impact of the program.
    Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective, matched, observational cohort study comparing outcomes of hearts transplanted from DCD donors from March 1, 2015 to February 29, 2020 with those from matched donation after brain death (DBD) donors at Royal Papworth Hospital (RPH) (Cambridge, UK). DCD hearts were either retrieved using thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion or the direct procurement and perfusion technique. All DBD hearts were procured using standard cold static storage. The primary outcomes were recipient 30-day and 1-year survival.
    Results: During the 5-year study, DCD heart donation increased overall heart transplant activity by 48% (79 for DCD and 164 for DBD). There was no difference in survival at 30 days (97% for DCD vs 99% for DBD, p = 1.00) or 1 year (91% for DCD vs 89% for DBD, p = 0.72). There was no difference in the length of stay in the intensive care unit (7 for DCD vs 6 for DBD days, p = 0.24) or in the hospital (24 for DCD vs 25 for DBD days, p = 0.84).
    Conclusions: DCD heart donation increased overall heart transplant activity at RPH by 48%, with no difference in 30-day or 1-year survival in comparison with conventional DBD heart transplantations. DCD heart donation is set to make a dramatic difference in the number of patients who can benefit from heart transplantation.

    Abstract Background: The requirement for heart transplantation is increasing, vastly outgrowing the supply of hearts available from donation after brain death (DBD) donors. Transplanting hearts after donation after circulatory-determined death (DCD) may be a viable additive alternative to DBD donors. This study compared outcomes from the largest single-center experience of DCD heart transplantation against matched DBD heart transplants.
    Methods: DCD hearts were retrieved using normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) or direct procurement and perfusion (DPP). During NRP, perfusion was restored to the arrested heart within the donor with the exclusion of the cerebral circulation, whereas DPP hearts were removed directly. All hearts were maintained on machine perfusion during transportation. A retrospective cohort of DBD heart transplants, matched for donor and recipient characteristics, was used as a comparison group. The primary outcome measure of this study (set by the United Kingdom regulatory body) was 90-day survival.
    Results: There were 28 DCD heart transplants performed during the 25-month study period. Survival at 90 days was not significantly different between DCD and matched DBD transplant recipients (DCD, 92%; DBD, 96%; p = 1.0). Hospital length of stay, treated rejection episodes, allograft function, and 1-year survival (DCD, 86%; DBD, 88%; p = 0.98) were comparable between groups. The method of retrieval (NRP or DPP) was not associated with a difference in outcome.
    Conclusions: These results suggest that heart transplantation from DCD heart donation provides comparable short-term outcomes to traditional DBD heart transplants and can serve to increase heart transplant activity in well-selected patients.

    Abstract The treatment of choice for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is pulmonary endarterectomy to reduce pulmonary vascular resistance with significant symptomatic and prognostic benefit. The fundamental aim of the surgery is to perform a full endarterectomy (not embolectomy or thrombectomy) in both pulmonary arteries. The operation is performed via a median sternotomy with hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) at 20 °C. Pulmonary arteriotomies are performed within the pericardium and periods of circulatory arrest are necessary to reduce collateral blood flow from bronchial arteries and allow a clear field for dissection distally. The endarterectomy plane is raised carefully as it is essential the correct layer be identified. The dissection proceeds within the superficial media into all the affected segmental and sub-segmental vessels. A cast of the inner layer of the pulmonary arterial tree is then dissected free by eversion moving towards the periphery. After completion of the endarterectomies, and the patient is rewarmed slowly on full CPB. During weaning from CPB the right-sided filling pressures should be kept low, guided by invasive haemodynamic monitoring. Survival to hospital discharge is ≫95% in experienced centres with outcome dependent on the disease pattern and pulmonary vascular resistance pre- and post-surgery.
