    Abstract Ex vivo lung perfusion is an indispensable tool in the armamentarium of any lung transplant center. It helps to increase an already shrinking donor pool by offering a chance to assess suboptimal donor lungs in a systematic manner and improve them by treating them with low-molecular-weight perfusate. We offer a stepwise guide to carry out ex vivo lung perfusion on the donor lungs and criteria to accept them for transplants.

    Abstract Reopening the chest in patients with left ventricular assist devices at the time of a heart transplant is challenging due to adhesions and the possibility of injury to vital structures. The sternal sparing bilateral thoracotomy approach utilized to implant a left ventricular assist device minimizes the chances of such injuries and offers a cosmetically better outcome. We demonstrate a procedure for implanting a left ventricular assist device in a 54-year-old man diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy who suffered rapid decompensation despite maximum medical therapy.

    Abstract Recent advances in the management of patients with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) have led to an increased number of patients who may develop heart failure and require heart transplantation (HTx). The purpose of this study was to evaluate early and mid-term postoperative outcomes after HTx with the use of Organ Care System (OCS) in a cohort of ACHD patients transplanted at our tertiary center. All consecutive HTx performed from January 2015 to January 2019 at our institution were analyzed. Donor and recipient preoperative characteristics, intraoperative course, and perioperative clinical outcomes were evaluated. Nine patients with median age of 44 years (range 17-61 years) underwent isolated HTx for end-stage ACHD during the study period. Mean cold ischemic time was 84 ± 17 minutes. Postoperatively, four patients (44%) needed venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (1-7 days). One patient (11%) required surgical re-exploration for bleeding. Thirty-day and 1-year mortality were 11% and 22%, respectively. In our experience, despite the challenges of transplantation in ACHD, these patients can be successfully transplanted with the use of the OCS in a highly specialized center. Careful donor and recipient selection are of paramount importance.

    Abstract Purpose: We wanted to evaluate if direct procurement of the heart is possible in combination with normothermic regional perfusion of abdominal organs in donors after circulatory death.
    Description: A donation after circulatory death pathway was used for a 41-year-old woman after an irreversible brain injury. After meeting criteria for the organ donation, the heart was retrieved and re-animated on ex situ perfusion system, and abdominal organs were perfused with normothermic regional perfusion.
    Evaluation: All the donated organs and their recipients had excellent short-term outcome.
    Conclusions: We demonstrated a successful combination of direct procurement of the heart and normothermic regional perfusion of the abdominal organs.

    Abstract Fifty years after the first successful heart transplantation, despite multiple advances in the treatment of advanced acute and chronic heart failure, there is still no equivalent to heart transplantation as a long-term treatment for end-stage heart failure. Transplantation is, however, limited by the scarcity and quality of heart allografts. Donors are nowadays significantly older, particularly in European countries, and traumatic head injury as the cause of death has been replaced by intracerebral hemorrhage or hypoxic brain damage in the majority of cases. In addition, many donors have undergone extensive resuscitation efforts. Recipient characteristics have progressively changed too within the last couple of decades; recipients are older, often with comorbidities and nearly half of them are bridged to transplant with a wide variety of mechanical circulatory support devices. These developments have resulted in heart transplant surgery becoming significantly more challenging with longer more complex surgery and increased ischemia times for organs that were previously considered to be borderline or non-transplantable in many cases. To address this, several options have been explored within the last years and as a result, novel strategies have been developed and tested in order to optimize graft preservation and potentially increase the donor pool. The two notable developments are the ability to procure hearts from donors after circulatory death and the advent of

    Abstract The Impella (Abiomed, Danvers, MA, USA) has become an important adjunct treatment modality in bridging patients with end-stage heart failure to recovery or orthotopic heart transplantation (HTx). We compared the outcome of patients directly bridged to HTx with the Impella 5.0 versus patients without mechanical circulatory support (MCS). Patients with no previous sternotomy or MCS, who were transplanted between September 2014 and March 2019 were included in this retrospective analysis. Impella 5.0 was implanted using surgical access and transesophageal echocardiography guidance. Forty-two out of 155 transplanted patients fulfilled the insertion criteria. Eight (19%) were bridged with Impella 5.0 to HTx. Recipient and donor baseline characteristics were comparable in both groups. There were no significant differences in survival between the groups at 30-day (94% no MCS vs. 87.5% Impella group, P = .47) or 6 months (94% vs. 87.5%, P = .51). Patients on Impella 5.0 showed a significant recovery of hemodynamic parameters and end-organ function. Average duration of support to HTx was 16 ± 17 days. Impella 5.0, when used in suitable patients in a timely fashion can be a good strategy for bridging patients to HTx. The axillary approach allows for early extubation and mobilization. Outcomes of patients bridged to HTx with Impella 5.0 in acute cardiogenic shock are comparable to those of patients with no MCS.
