Contemporary management of ischemic heart disease lacks strategies to directly access the heart and promote reparative cellular mechanisms to improve postinfarct cardiac remodeling. Epicardial infarct repair (EIR) is an emerging technique whereby bioactive materials are sewn over ischemic areas of the heart at the time of surgical revascularization to promote adaptive cardiac repair. The CorMatrix Cor™ PATCH (CorMatrix Cardiovascular Inc., GA, USA) is an acellular bioactive material compatible with EIR. Herein, we review current preclinical and clinical data for the CorMatrix Cor PATCH and its use in EIR.

Heart Transplantation Outcomes for Fontan Patients When Using Contemporary Strategies: Heart-Liver Transplantation and Ventricular Assist Device Therapy.

Background: With an increasing number of Fontan patients surviving into adulthood, the burden of end-stage heart failure is increasing. Prior studies have reported suboptimal heart transplantation (HTx) outcomes. Therefore, the authors describe their institutional experience of HTx in patients with Fontan circulation failure, including heart-liver transplantation (HLTx) and pretransplant systemic ventricular assist device (SVAD) therapies.

Article Synopsis
- Significant advancements in fetal cardiac imaging have allowed for earlier diagnosis of complex congenital heart disease (CHD) in infants at high risk for postnatal issues, prompting a new strategy for immediate surgical intervention.
- Between 2012 and 2023, eight prenatally diagnosed CHD infants were delivered in an operating room next to a cardiac OR, with six undergoing surgery on their birth day for conditions like obstructed total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR).
- The overall five-year postoperative survival rate for these infants was 88%, indicating that this interdisciplinary approach to birth and immediate care may lead to better outcomes compared to historical data.
