A novel cardioprotective perfusion protocol prevents functional decline during extended normothermic ex situ heart perfusion of marginal porcine hearts

Abstract Background A common limitation to normothermic ex situ heart perfusion (ESHP) is functional decline. We previously designed a cardioprotective normothermic perfusion protocol, incorporating adenosine-lidocaine cardioplegia, subnormothermic reperfusion, pyruvate and..
