Ischemia Reperfusion Injury Significantly Differs between Lung vs. Heart Transplantation with Respect to Lead Cytokines and Correlation to Clinical Outcome
ObjectivesIschemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is known to impair early graft function after lung (LTx) or heart (HTx) transplantation. We have previously characterized IRI in lungs…2018 American Transplant Congress
Hemodynamic and Functional Analysis of Human DCD Hearts Undergoing Normothermic Ex Vivo Perfusion
Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston.
Heart donation after circulatory death (DCD) is feasible although little is known about the hemodynamic and functional parameters of these marginal donor organs. We conducted…2018 American Transplant Congress
Potential Impact of DCD Donor Recoveries on Heart Transplantation: Retrospective Analysis of a Limited UNOS Dataset

Molecular Injury and Repair Assessment in Ex Vivo Perfused Swine Heart Transplants
University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada.
Background: Cardiac transplantation is a life-saving intervention for advanced heart failure but it is unfortunately limited by a critical shortage of suitable donor organs and…2017 American Transplant Congress
Lung Preservation Solution Exposure at Cardiac Procurement Is Associated Increased Incidence of Coronary Arterial Vasculopathy.
Purpose: To evaluate cardiac recipient survival and incidence of coronary artery vasculopathy (CAV) in recipient hearts that have been exposed to lung preservation solution, Perfadex.Methods:…2016 American Transplant Congress
Hif-1α Stabilization in the Recipient Accelerates Cardiac Allograft Rejection.
Northwestern University, Chicago.
Introduction: Increased Hif-1α mRNA expression in deceased-donor organ transplant tissue prior to or soon after transplantation significantly correlated with primary graft dysfunction. HIF-1α is positioned…2015 American Transplant Congress
Preservation Solution Impacts Short- and Long-Term Survival in Orthotopic Heart Transplant Recipients
Objectives: To examine the effect of three commonly used preservation solutions on short- and long-term survival after orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) using a large national…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Effects of Various Cardiac Preservation Solutions on Survival After Heart Transplantation
Purpose: The optimal cardiac preservation solution is still debated. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the type of cardiac preservation solution has…
