Mitochondrial transplantation normalizes transcriptomic and proteomic shift associated with ischemia reperfusion injury in neonatal hearts donated after circulatory death.

Heart transplantation remains the ultimate treatment strategy for neonates and children with medically refractory end-stage heart failure and utilization of donors after circulatory death (DCD) can expand th donor pool. We have previously shown that mitochondrial transplantation preserves myocardial function and viability in neonatal swine DCD hearts to levels similar to that observed in donation after brain death (DBD). Herein, we sought to investigate the transcriptomic and proteomic pathways implicated in these phenotypic changes using ex situ perfused swine hearts.

Thymic mimetic cells are molecular hybrids between medullary-thymic-epithelial cells (mTECs) and diverse peripheral cell types. They are involved in eliminating autoreactive T cells and can perform supplementary functions reflective of their peripheral-cell counterparts. Current knowledge about mimetic cells derives largely from mouse models.

Background: In October 2022, the Heart Valve Collaboratory and Food and Drug Administration convened a global multidisciplinary workshop to address the unmet clinical need to promote and accelerate the development of pediatric-specific heart valve technologies.
Methods: The Pediatric Heart Valve Global Multidisciplinary Workshop was convened in October 2022. Key stakeholders, including expert clinicians in pediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery, valve manufacturers, engineers and scientists were assembled to review the current state-of-the-art, discuss unique challenges in the pre-and post-market evaluation of pediatric valve therapies, and highlight emerging technologies that show potential to address some of the key unmet needs of children with valve disease.
Intraoperative Conduction Mapping to Reduce Postoperative Atrioventricular Block in Complex Congenital Heart Disease.

Article Synopsis
- Postoperative atrioventricular block requiring pacemaker (AVB/PM) affects 14% to 25% of patients undergoing complex biventricular repair for congenital heart disease, especially those with heterotaxy syndrome.
- This study explored the safety and effectiveness of intraoperative His bundle (HB) mapping to reduce the incidence of AVB/PM during these procedures.
- Results showed that mapping significantly lowered AVB/PM rates in certain groups, while also highlighting the need for ongoing advancements in mapping technology for those still at risk.
