Mashup Score: 1JHLT: The Podcast: Episode 33: August 2023 - 8 month(s) ago
The JHLT Digital Media Editors explore two manuscripts from the August issue of The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation—the first on immunosuppression in pediatric heart transplantation, and the second TA-NRP in DCD lung transplantation. Digital Media Editor Van-Khue Ton, MD, heart failure and transplant cardiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, hosts this episode. First, hear from senior author Steven C. Greenway, MSc, MD, on his team’s study “.” Dr. Greenway shares his journey from enzyme biochemistry in mollusks, snails, and frogs to pediatric cardiology, then outlines the results of the paper. The study queried the Pediatric Heart Transplant Society’s registry to determine the efficacy and safety of monotherapy immunosuppression. The results showed better graft survival and less coronary allograft vasculopathy in the monotherapy group, even after adjusted for age at transplant, sex, neonatal transplant, infection, PTLD, and etiology of cardiomyopathy.

Mashup Score: 1The impact of thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion on early outcomes in donation after circulatory death lung transplantation - 9 month(s) ago
Thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion has emerged as an alternative method to procure donation after circulatory death (DCD) hearts, but its impact on concomitantly procured lung allografts remains unclear. The United Network for Organ Sharing database identified 627 DCD donors whose hearts were procured (211 in situ perfused, 416 directly procured) between December 2019 to December 2022. Lung utilization rates were 14.9% (63/422) for in situ perfused donors and 13.8% (115/832) for directly procured donors (p = 0.80).

The JHLT Digital Media Editors explore two manuscripts from the July issue of The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation—one on heart transplantation and one on lung transplantation. Digital Media Editor Marty C. Tam, MD, Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan, hosts this episode. First, hear from co-first author Kevin Chen, MD, on his team’s study “,” which comes from Cedars-Sinai. The study looks into the results of DCD organ donation depending on the technique used at procurement, mainly comparing ex-situ normothermic organ perfusion with thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion (TA-NRP). Digital Media Editors David Schibilsky, MD, and Van-Khue Ton, MD, have questions on the relationship between DCD liver and kidney procurement and heart procurement strategies, why TA-NRP livers and kidneys might differ, and the lower incidence of delayed graft function in DCD kidney transplants with TA-NRP. Dr. Chen also shares some thoughts about how this work might be in

Mashup Score: 0Metabolic Outcomes After Pancreas Transplant Alone From Donation After Circulatory Death Donors-The UK Transplant Registry Analysis - 12 month(s) ago
Extrapolating data from early DCD (donation after circulatory death) kidney transplantation, pancreas transplants from DCD grafts were feared to have worse metabolic outcomes. Hence, we aimed to address the question of pancreas transplant alone (PTA) from DCD donors–are our concerns justified? A UK transplant registry analysis of 185 PTA performed between 2005 and 2018 was done. All early graft…

Mashup Score: 0Experimental Assessment of Intestinal Damage in Controlled Donation After Circulatory Death for Visceral Transplantation - 1 year(s) ago
There is an urgent need to address the shortage of potential multivisceral grafts in order to reduce the average time in waiting list. Since donation after circulatory death (DCD) has been successfully employed for other solid organs, a thorough evaluation of the use of intestinal grafts from DCD is warranted. Here, we have generated a model of Maastricht III DCD in rodents, focusing on the…
