Venovenous bypass has improved patient survival and decreased morbidity and mortality in the field of orthotopic liver transplantation. The standard at many transplant centers is the use of the internal jugular percutaneous venovenous bypass cannulae (PVVBC) for venous return to the patient. Placement of these large (18F) PVVBC may lead to several complications and requires confirmation before use. Use of transesophageal echocardiography, an effective and rapid method to guide placement of the PVVBC and minimize potential complications associated with insertion of the device, is described.

Objective: Percutaneous vegetation debulking has been reported to treat tricuspid valve infective endocarditis (TVIE), but data on feasibility compared with conventional surgical strategies are limited. We aimed to compare short-term outcomes of suction debulking with partial venovenous bypass to conventional open surgery in this population.
Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective study that included all patients with isolated TVIE who underwent suction debulking with partial venovenous bypass or tricuspid valve surgery between January 2010 and December 2022.

Donation After Circulatory Death Liver Transplantation: Impact of Normothermic Machine Perfusion on Key Variables.

Background: During orthotopic liver transplantation, allograft reperfusion is a dynamic point in the operation and often requires vasoactive medications and blood transfusions. Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) of liver allografts has emerged to increase the number of transplantable organs and may have utility during donation after circulatory death (DCD) liver transplantation in reducing transfusion burden and vasoactive medication requirements.
Methods: This is a single-center retrospective study involving 226 DCD liver transplant recipients who received an allograft transported with NMP (DCD-NMP group) or with static cold storage (DCD-SCS group).
