Donation after circulatory death (DCD) procurement and transplantation thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion (TA-NRP) remains a novel technique to improve cardiac hepatic allograft preservation but may be complicated by lung pulmonary edema. We present single-center series on early implementation of lung-protective protocol with strategies mitigate posttransplant edema in DCD allografts TA-NRP procurement.Data from all transplantations performed using strategy October 2022 April...
BackgroundTo evaluate the association of right vs left single lung transplants (SLT) from split donors with long-term post-transplant recipient outcomes.MethodsWe performed a retrospective review Scientific Registry Transplant Recipients data SLT adult recipients comparing and grafts between 2005 2021. We used paired donor model to account for underlying differences evaluated patient graft survival Cox proportional hazard models robust variance estimates adjusted characteristics. also...
Currently, there is no mathematical model used nationally to determine the medical urgency of patients on heart transplant waitlist in United States. While current organ distribution system accounts for many patient factors, a truly objective needed more reliably stratify by their acuity.
Heart and lung transplantation remain efficacious treatments for patients with end-stage cardiopulmonary failure. However, donor shortages a challenge to both providers patients. Thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion (TA-NRP) has been increasingly adopted decrease organ ischemia from circulatory death donors therefore increase the number of organs available transplantation. Despite initial success, data on program genesis implementation are limited. The aim this manuscript is...
Background: Self-inflicted gunshot wounds (SIGSWs) produce devastating facial defects that are challenging to reconstruct, but rarely reported in large cohorts the literature. This study sought characterize these injuries, and identify parameters influencing complications outcomes among survivors following reconstruction. Methods: A retrospective cohort was performed identifying 22 patients with SIGSWs face reconstructed at our center from 2009 2019. Charts were reviewed for patient, injury,...
ABSTRACT Importance Although the Organ Procurement and Transplantation network provides structured policies guidance for waitlisted cardiac transplant patients, heart transplantation community lacks a mathematical model that can accurately estimate short-term risk of death associated with being waitlisted. Importantly, CHARM score management ranking system patients based on well-defined sensitive medical urgency metric. Objective We had three primary objectives in completing this study....
Background: SARS-CoV-2 (i.e., COVID-19) has brought extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) into the forefront of critical care. Its unique pathophysiology added a level complexity to ECMO therapy, particularly, hematologic manifestations. Here we detail spectrum and outcomes bleeding complications in for COVID-19 identify potential contributing factors. Methods: All patients who received pneumonia severe acute respiratory distress syndrome at our institution between March 1, 2020 April...
A 63-year-old male underwent re-exploration after HVAD implantation due to persistent postoperative bleeding. We present an unusual cause of bleeding LVAD for which early and consideration etiologies is appropriate.
