Innovative Strategies for Organ Preservation in Heart Transplantation: Uniform Cooling Preservation and <em>Ex-situ</em> Normothermic Perfusion

Nearly 4,500 heart transplantations are performed annually worldwide. Given the current organ shortage, extended criteria are frequently accepted nowadays ...

University of Paris Saclay

The number of heart transplantations (HTs) has decreased in France since 2017 (-5%/year) despite a stable rate of patients referred on the waiting list. Ex vivo heart perfusion (EVHP) is an innovative approach for organ preservation, reducing graft ischaemic time and facilitating continuous organ monitoring before transplantation.

Ex vivo perfusion of the donor heart: Preliminary experience in high-risk transplantations.

Endomyocardial biopsies (EMB) are recommended for the detection of acute cardiac rejection (ACR) despite limited sensitivity. We report the long-term post-transplant results of Doppler echocardiography as a noninvasive alternative of routine EMB.
