Background In March 2023, the lung allocation policy underwent major changes from a tiered structure to a composite allocation score (CAS). The goal was to improve allocation equity for disadvantaged groups by deprioritizing transplant distance. This study examines the effects of CAS on geographic trends and transportation efficiency. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted…

BackgroundDonation after circulatory death with thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion (DCD-NRP) for cardiac transplant has promising results, though data for lung transplant is lacking. This study evaluates lung transplant outcomes using DCD-NRP allografts.MethodsAll patients who underwent lung transplantation (LT) from June 1, 2020, to July 5, 2023, at a single institution were evaluated. Recipients received organs…
BackgroundVeno-arterial extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) may cause adverse effects including increased left ventricular (LV) filling pressure, LV distension and pulmonary oedema. We aimed to quantify the effects of ECMO flow, LV contractility, aortic pressure (AoP) and ECMO configuration on left atrial pressure (LAP) during VA-ECMO for cardiogenic shock in a mock circulatory loop (MCL).MethodsAn MCL…
BackgroundDespite the use of antiviral prophylaxis, cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains a common opportunistic infection following heart transplantation. This study analyzes the rates, risk factors, and outcomes of CMV among heart transplant recipients.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted of adults who underwent heart transplantation between January 1, 2011, and March 31, 2019. The primary outcome was clinically…
Normothermic Regional Perfusion (NRP) has been growing as a novel procurement strategy after circulatory death (DCD) in the context of heart transplantation. However, the impact of NRP on lung graft viability is largely unknown. We sought to determine lung function after thoraco-abdominal NRP (TA-NRP) in a clinically relevant porcine DCD model. Donor domestic pigs underwent…
