Ten hour donor heart ischemic time with 10ºC static storage

Utilization of 10ºC static storage safely extended both ischemic time and travel radius in heart transplantation. A 57-year-old man with ischemic cardiomyopathy, a left ventricular assist device (LVAD), and end-stage renal disease was listed for combined heart-kidney transplant. The donor hospital i...

Description
Summary:Utilization of 10ºC static storage safely extended both ischemic time and travel radius in heart transplantation. A 57-year-old man with ischemic cardiomyopathy, a left ventricular assist device (LVAD), and end-stage renal disease was listed for combined heart-kidney transplant. The donor hospital in Anchorage, AK, was located approximately 2,700 nautical miles and 8 hours from the recipient center. The organ was transported in 10ºC static storage with over 10 hours of ischemic time and had superb early allograft function. Excellent outcomes with extended ischemic times can be achieved without machine perfusion, provided good recovery, storage, and implant techniques are followed.
