A technique of veno-venous bypass without heparin has been developed for use during the anhepatic phase of transplantation of the liver. With this method, the ability to compress the temporarily obstructed vena caval and portal venous systems has made hepatic transplantation an easier procedure.

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

From the Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Phoenix, Arizona.
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).

Article Synopsis
- * Common intraoperative ventilation methods include cross-table ventilation, veno-venous extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation, and cardiopulmonary bypass; however, cardiopulmonary bypass is usually avoided due to its complications and limitations in oncological surgery.
- * The text introduces a novel technique for minimally invasive robotic carinal reconstruction that utilizes cross-table ventilation, alongside a video tutorial detailing the surgical process for a young patient with a mediastinal tumor invading the carina.
X marks the spot: catheter aspiration using the Inari FlowTriever device to debulk defibrillator lead vegetations prior to transvenous lead extraction-a case report.

Background: When cardiac implantable electronic device infection occurs, standard therapy is usually total system extraction. Transvenous lead extraction is preferable to open heart surgical extraction, unless contraindicated because of the presence of very large vegetations on the intravenous leads according to the European Society of Cardiology guidelines. Extraction of transvenous leads with vegetations risks distal embolism resulting in obstruction and/or infection in the pulmonary arteries.

Background: Liver failure remains a critical clinical challenge with limited treatment options. Cross-circulation, the establishment of vascular connections between individuals, has historically been explored as a potential supportive therapy but with limited success. This study investigated the feasibility of combining cross-circulation with a rapidly deployable veno-venous bypass (VVB) graft for multi-organ support in a rat model of total hepatectomy, representing the most severe form of liver failure.
