Article Synopsis
- Thoraco-abdominal normothermic regional perfusion (TA-NRP) combined with ECMO is a promising method for reviving hearts in donors who have been declared dead by circulatory criteria (DCDD).
- This process involves restoring blood flow to the heart after death and restarting the donor's circulation and oxygenation using their own organs, but complications can arise if the donor's lungs cannot oxygenate blood effectively.
- The paper presents three cases where a split ECMO circuit was used, allowing successful heart recovery and transplantation from DCDD donors despite challenges with pre-existing respiratory failure.
Aims: Many historical and recent reports showed that post-infarction ventricular septal rupture (VSR) represents a life-threatening condition and the strategy to optimally manage it remains undefined. Therefore, disparate treatment policies among different centres with variable results are often described. We analysed data from European centres to capture the current clinical practice in VSR management.
