While there has been a recent increase in the number of organ donors, the uptick has been unable to match the growing need for transplant organs. New techniques to recover, preserve, and rehabilitate organs can help close the gap between supply and demand. https://t.co/Vi5e0T1Oq1
🚨 Fresh off the press: Our pioneering study compares costs and yields of NRP vs. Ex-Situ NMP in DCD Organ Transplants 🫀🫁. A first study of its kind!

Amazing. In contrast, Putin would be most afraid of his own soldiers in Ukraine! Dictators always end up being more afraid of their own people than of any supposed enemies, and with good reason. https://t.co/QibIsCgXfU
This video is a "how we do it" style demonstration of how the authors procure hearts from donors after circulatory death using normothermic regional perfusion.

@smccarneyMD@kashishgoelmd @VUMC_ECMO @vumcvalve @VUMChealth Same set up as for my PTE cases without the cooling. I make separate left and right PA incisions and use short periods of low flow. The left side clot burden was much less compared to the right.
Nice collaboration with @kashishgoelmd to rescue a sick patient with large clot burden in a patient with #COVID19. Clot in transit, #angiovac, instability requiring #ecmo, then OR. @VUMC_ECMO @vumcvalve @VUMChealth
