“…The complete recovery of the myocardium may have been due to the reversible nature of the cause. Anaphylactic shock-associated cardiomyopathy results in acute heart failure secondary to severe coronary vasospasm and usually recovers quickly without major sequelae [ 15 , 16 ]. The initiation of ECLS provided timely hemodynamic support and may well have speeded coronary perfusion optimisation and left ventricular function recovery.…”

BackgroundAlthough heart transplantation is a successful therapy for patients suffering from end-stage heart failure, the therapeutic is limited by the lack of organs. Donor cardiac arrest is a classic hindrance to heart retrieval as it raises issues on post-transplant outcomes.Case presentationThe present case reports a successful heart transplantation after prolonged donor cardiac arrest (total lowflow time of 95 minutes) due to anaphylactic shock necessitating extracorporeal life support. We further provide an overview of the current evidence and outcomes of heart transplantation in cases of donor cardiac arrest.ConclusionProviding that donor and recipient criteria are respected, donor cardiac arrest does not seem to be an adverse predictor in heart transplantation.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s13019-015-0393-8) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
