Occurrence of PGF is a multifactorial event that depends on both donor and recipient profiles. ECMO support is a reliable treatment for severe PGF; furthermore, surviving patients treated with ECMO have the same 1-year conditional survival rates as patients not having suffered a PGF.
History of cardiac arrest in donors with a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction at time of organ procurement doesn't affect outcome of heart recipients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
