Comparison of Custodiol vs warm blood cardioplegia and conditioning of donor hearts during transportation with the organ care system

Abstract: ObjectivesCold crystalloid cardioplegia for donor heart harvesting and cold ischemic storage conditions during the transportation is the standard of care during heart transplantation procedure. Organ care system (OCS) was introduced for more prolonged and reliable ex vivo organ management. This study evaluated the two different techniques used for myocardial preservation during the procurement and transportation of the heart using the OCS.MethodsWe performed prospective analysis of 43 patients with heart failu… Show more

“…Based on results from the PROCEED II trial, which implied that a rising lactate level more than 5 mmol/L on the system is a predictor of donor heart abnormality, we made the decision to use the OCS for the assessment of extended criteria donor hearts. Therefore, we compared the results of standard preservation modification with the new approach, using ultrafiltration, levosimendan and blood cardioplegia for conditioning of donor heart during ex vivo perfusion [ 11 ]. Ex vivo assessment combined with conditioning would minimize the risk of primary allograft dysfunction and potentially increase the donor pool.…”

“…Twenty-one publications, including eight papers ( 7 , 10 , 12 16 , 21 ) and 13 conference abstracts ( 5 , 25 35 , 40 ) presented results from using the OCS at transplantation of DBD hearts with or without a control group ( Tables 2 , 3 ). Three of these studies were randomized ( Table 2 ).…”

“…The OCS standard protocol allows for extended preservation out of body time of 8 hours, for organ procurement, reducing the detrimental effects of cold ischemic storage, improving short-term heart allograft function. In our center, we allow for extended out of body time (more than 8 hours as mentioned above) due to geographical distances between donor and recipient hospitals (11).…”

“…OCS Heart allowed safe transplantation of recipients on Mechanical Circulatory Support. Despite preservation mean time was approaching 7 hours (maximum 16) enabling allocations otherwise not acceptable, patient and graft conditions were favorable (11). The ex vivo heart perfusion allows optimization of logistics and meticulous preparation of the recipients with MCS.…”
