Abstract OBJECTIVES Donation after circulatory death provides excellent patient outcomes in heart transplantation; however, warm ischaemic graft damage remains a concern. We have reported that a brief period of hypothermic..
Read More
Abstract BACKGROUND: A preservation system, the Organ Care System (OCS; TransMedics) uses normothermic pulsatile perfusion during organ transport for heart transplantation. This system has demonstrated favorable outcomes in hearts recovered..

Tuscany Normothermic Regional Perfusion Mobile Teams for Controlled Donation After Circulatory Death
Abstract Introduction To facilitate the implementation of controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD) programs even in hospitals not equipped with a local extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) team, some countries have..

Abstract Heart transplantation utilizing deceased after circulatory death (DCD) donors has expanded the donor pool through the use of ex vivo normothermic perfusion. Compared with brain death donation, the conventional..
Read More
Abstract In donation after circulatory death (DCD) organ transplantation, normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) restores oxygenated blood flow following cardiac arrest and reverses warm ischemia. Recently, NRP has also been used..
