Which strategy is better for lung transplantation: Cardiopulmonary bypass or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation?
Conclusions: Off-pump techniques are standard, but ECMO's role is expanding. Despite advantages, careful ECMO management is crucial due to hidden risks and costs. Future research should focus on refining ECMO use and monitoring to improve outcomes, emphasizing individualized approaches for LT recipients.PMID:38557237 | DOI:10.1177/02676591241242018 (Source: Perfusion)

Monochorionic Twin Complications and Fetoscopic Interventions
Monochorionic twins are at risk for complications due to the presence of placental vascular anastomoses, including twin-twin transfusion syndrome, twin anemia-polycythemia sequence, selective fetal growth restriction, and twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence. While ultrasound is the primary modality to screen for the development of these complications, MRI plays an important role in assessing monochorionic twin pregnancies for the development of other complications, such as neurologic injury. In this article, the authors review the ultrasound imaging findings associated with monochorionic twin complications, managemen...

The feasibility of exercise to improve cerebrovascular health in older adults.
To investigate the feasibility of exercise in aging targeted to improve cardiovascular fitness, basal cerebral perfusion, cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) and improve cognitive-executive performance. Comorbidities associated with aging continue to rise. According to the Alzheimer's Association, one in three adults over the age of 65 will die with Alzheimer's disease (AD) or a related dementia. Intertwined with aging-related pathologies are physiological changes in cardio and cerebrovascular function. (Source: Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation)

Diagnostic utility of perfusion index in identifying radial artery embolism during hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy procedure: a case report
AbstractInvasive arterial cannulation is a widely used method in intensive care units and operating rooms. However it has potential complications such as thrombosis, peripheral embolism, hematoma formation, and infection. The Masimo Root Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter ® (Masimo Corporation, Irvine, CA, USA) is a non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring device that measures perfusion index and pleth variability index, provides guidance to anaesthesiologists in the cases where hemodynamic fluctuations are expected. In this particular case, the perfusion index played a crucial role in the immediate diagnosis of radial artery embolis...

Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion as a Novel Model System of the Lung Resident Humoral Immune Response to Influenza
Purpose: Murine studies showthat flu-specific B cells in lung exhibit differential fates, migration properties and plasma cell differentiation potential as early as 24 hours after infection, underscoring the importance of studying the properties of flu-specific B cells recalled to human lung over time after infection. Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is a clinical bridge to transplant modality that maintains human lung viable over time. We hypothesized that EVLP can be adapted to facilitate dynamic studies of the humoral immune response to influenza that is recalled to the human lung longitudinally after infection (Source: Th...

One-Year Outcomes of Remote Ex-Vivo Lung Perfusion in the Real-World Setting
Purpose: Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) allows for evaluation of marginal donor lungs, but its widespread adoption is limited by lack of center expertise and logistical support for in-house EVLP. Clinical trials have demonstrated the feasibility of remote EVLP at a centralized facility to expand access to centers without in-house EVLP. The outcomes of remote EVLP outside of clinical trials are unclear due to scarcity and incomplete data. Our team will report on 1-year outcomes for the use of remote EVLP utilizing centralized lung evaluation system (CLES) via a third-party provider in a real world, non-clinical trial setting...

UK Experience of Direct Procurement of Lungs with Ongoing Abdominal Normothermic Regional Perfusion from Controlled DCD Donors
Purpose: Describe the UK experience of direct retrieval and preservation (DRP) of lungs for transplantation alongside abdominal normothermic regional perfusion (A-NRP), with an analysis of early outcomes for lungs transplanted with this method compared to standard retrieval after circulatory death (DCD).

Does Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion Mitigate the Detrimental Effects of Primary Graft Dysfunction? A Propensity Matched Analysis of the United Network for Organ Sharing Database
Purpose: Previous studies and anecdotal reports have proposed that recipients who develop primary graft dysfunction grade 3 (PGD3) following lung transplantation from allografts that underwent ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) have improved outcomes, as compared to those who did not undergo EVLP. We sought to determine if this held true in a national database. (Source: The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation)

Lungs from Donors with Chest Trauma Can Safely be Perfused on EVLP - and Used for Transplantation
Purpose: Moderate traumatic injuries and lung contusions are considered a clear exclusion criterion for ex-vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) by most transplant centers. This is due to the presumed poor performance during perfusion, which is caused by increased capillary leak and resulting pulmonary edema. (Source: The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation)
