The Evaluation of Constant Coronary Artery Flow versus Constant Coronary Perfusion Pressure During Normothermic Ex Situ Heart Perfusion

Evidence suggests that hearts that are perfused under ex-situ conditions lose normal coronary vasomotor tone and experience contractile failure over a few hours. We aimed to evaluate the effect of different coronary perfusion strategies during ex situ heart perfusion on cardiac function and coronary vascular tone.
