ABO-incompatible Heart Transplantation - evolution of a revolution
In the 1990s, neonates born with severe congenital heart disease faced more than 50% mortality awaiting an ABO-compatible (ABOc) transplant donor. This desperate situation, together with knowledge on gaps of the adaptive immune system in early childhood, led to the clinical exploration of intentional ABO-incompatible (ABOi) heart transplantation. In 2001, West et al. reported the first series of 10 infants in Canada. Since then, consideration of ABOi heart donors has become standard of care for children awaiting transplantation in the first few years of life, resulting in reduced wait times and better organ utilization wit...

Recombinant human IL-37 attenuates acute cardiac allograft rejection in mice
CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated that rhIL-37 effectively suppress acute rejection and induce long-term allograft acceptance. The results highlight that IL-37 could be novel and promising candidate for prevention of allograft rejection.PMID:38583255 | DOI:10.1016/j.cyto.2024.156598 (Source: Cytokine)

The Wallet Biopsy: Medical Crowdfunding for Heart Transplantation
In this study, we sought to describe the state of crowdfunding for individuals being evaluated for heart transplantation. Using the search term heart transplant, 1000 GoFundMe campaigns were reviewed. After exclusions, 634 (63.4%) campaigns were included. (Source: Journal of Cardiac Failure)

Balancing Innovation and Professionalism: The Emerging Role of AI-Powered Chatbots in Medical Consultation
The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare has opened new frontiers in patient care and medical consultation. Among the most innovative applications of this technology are medical chatbots, which have the potential to revolutionize the way health advice and information are delivered to patients. By leveraging advanced algorithms and vast medical knowledge databases, these chatbots promise to provide immediate, accessible, and personalized medical advice. We explored this ability by using an example from the field of cardiac electrophysiology. (Source: Heart Rhythm)

Partial heart transplantation for destructive infective endocarditis
AbstractInfective endocarditis frequently spreads beyond the valve tissue, especially in the aortic location. Invasive endocarditis may lead to abscess formation or fistula, with substantial tissue loss. Here, the case of a 31-year-old male patient with destructive aortic and pulmonary valve endocarditis and a subaortic mural defect who underwent patch closure of the ventricular septal defect and aortic and pulmonary root replacement and right coronary artery bypass graft is presented. This is an uncommon condition and stress is placed on imaging of the technical aspects of the case. (Source: Indian Journal of Thoracic and...
