This study examines trends and long-term survival outcomes for heart transplants involving donation after circulatory death (DCD) versus donation after brain death (DBD).

This video shows the first-ever robotic heart transplant in full resolution and was shared by lead surgeon Dr. Feras Khaliel.
August 29, 2024
Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) encountered during heart transplant in either the donor or the recipient is highly unusual and significantly complicates the operation.
August 29, 2024
Lung transplantation is limited by the availability of donors, with relative scarcity of organs. Aspiration prior to donation is one reason donor organs might be discarded due to concern for acute lung injury, which adversely impacts graft survival.

CTSNet Senior Editor Sameh Said spoke with Stefan Elde about total beating heart transplants.
August 22, 2024
This consensus statement disseminated by the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) focuses on the prevention and management of hemocompatability-related adverse events (HRAEs) in patients with durable, continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (CF-LVAD).
August 20, 2024
The authors introduce a beating heart implant in the setting of donor recovery utilizing ex vivo heart perfusion, which can potentially improve primary graft dysfunction rates by eliminating a second cardiac arrest.

This editorial describes the evolving pathway of diagnosing a disease that is predicted to augment the indication for orthotopic cardiac transplantation. Cardiac involvement of sarcoidosis accounts for the majority of deaths in sarcoidosis patients, so it is important to better understand its symptoms.
