Due to an aging population, organ donors are older and have more comorbidities, negatively impacting donor organ quality. Simultaneously, the disparity between donor organ supply and demand is increasing. These are the challenges that we face in #liver #transplantation today.   With the use of machine perfusion, we can now perform a test drive to assess the viability of risky donor livers, mitigate the injury that occurs during transplantation, and safely extend preservation time to facilitate standard daytime transplantation.   In his inaugural lecture taking place on the 12th of April, UMCG surgeon Professor Vincent de Meijer addresses the importance of innovative research in liver transplantation to improve outcomes. #oratiominute #researchimpact

I invite you to read this very interesting article. Coronary artery disease has been always a discussion when considering patients for transplant. Enzo Lüsebrink great paper!

PerTransplantation Gallery Update 🔬 Innovating Organ Preservation: Hypothermic Perfusion in En-Bloc Kidneys from DCD With an increasing need to recruit organs available for transplantation   from donors after cardiac death (DCD), hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (HMP) emerges as a promising technique to preserve and assess kidney grafts. This animal model study demonstrates that hypothermic ex-situ perfusion of dual en-bloc kidney graft reveal stable flow and pressure parameters and a significant reduction in arterial vascular resistance during ex-situ perfusion, indicating an enhanced organ viability. The preliminary results are promising: a step forward in organ preservation and reconditioning.

🐷🫀 **Insights from Pig-Organ Transplants: Lessons Learned from Human Recipients** 🧬🔬 As the medical community reflects on the recent loss of the first living recipient of a pig kidney, scientists offer invaluable insights gleaned from xenotransplantation endeavors. Through the experiences of three human recipients, researchers have gained critical knowledge shaping the future of organ transplantation. From immunological responses to long-term viability, each case informs ongoing efforts to overcome barriers in xenotransplantation. Stay informed as scientists continue to unravel the complexities of pig-organ transplants, paving the way for transformative advancements in organ donation and transplantation. #Xenotransplantation #OrganTransplant #MedicalResearch #HealthcareInnovation 🐷🫀🧬🔬

This is by far the most outstanding webinar on lung transplantation in pulmonary hypertension we've ever experienced. The explanations were exceptionally clear and delivered in easy-to-understand language, covering every step of the transplant journey—from getting listed and preparing for surgery, through the operation and immediate post-op, to what to expect when returning home and managing long-term care. The visuals were highly effective, and the presentations from the two interviewed patients were equally remarkable—both pragmatic and deeply motivational, leaving a positive and inspiring impression. Kudos to the Pulmonary Vascular Research Institute (PVRI) Lung Transplantation in Pulmonary Hypertension Workstream for putting it together and for now making it available to all. 👏 Corey Ventetuolo, Brown University, USA Caitlin Demarest, Vanderbilt University Medical Centre, USA Nicholas Kolaitis, University of California SF, USA Reda Girgis, Michigan State University/Core Well Health, USA Deborah Levine, Stanford University, USA Natalia Maeva, PHA Europe, 9 years post double lung transplant, Diane Ramirez, Pulmonary Hypertension Association, 1 year post double lung transplant. https://lnkd.in/ddrGMw5R #pulmonaryhypertension #pulmonaryarterialhypertension #PAH #chronicthromboembolicpulmonaryhypertension #CTEPH #knowledgesharing #knowledgeexchange #patientempowerment #patienteducation #allianceforph #organtransplant #organdonation #transplant #lungtransplant HTaPFrance Stichting Pulmonale Hypertensie / PH Association the Netherlands PH Belgium - Pulmonale Hypertensie vzw AIPI Italian Pulmonary Hypertension Association Pulmoner Hipertansiyon ve Skleroderma Hasta Dernegi Hellenic Community for Pulmonary Hypertension Pulmonale Hypertonie E.V. Hans-Dieter Kulla Ieva Plume PHA Polska PHA Japan

Exciting News in Healthcare Innovation!!! Breaking barriers in organ transplantation, a recent medical milestone showcases the potential of xenotransplantation. CNN reports a groundbreaking pig kidney transplant that has brought hope to a patient in need. This remarkable achievement not only highlights the advancements in medical science but also underscores the importance of exploring new avenues to address organ shortage. #MedicalBreakthrough #OrganDonation

The recent progress in lung transplant procedures reflects the power of practical innovation in healthcare. Through a simple adjustment in storage temperatures, medical experts have broadened the availability of organs for transplantation. With the introduction of the X-port cooler, the lifespan of donor lungs has been significantly extended, presenting hopeful prospects for patients awaiting transplants. This advancement marks a significant step forward in organ transplantation, with potential implications for enhancing access to critical treatments on a larger scale. #lungtransplant #healthinnovation #healthresearch #healthcareadvancements https://lnkd.in/gQYUbZta

📑 New in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine: Hypothermia for expanded criteria organ donors in kidney transplantation in France (HYPOREME): a multicentre, randomised controlled trial Hypothermia in expanded criteria donors whose organs were routinely stored using machine perfusion did not decrease the frequency of delayed kidney graft function. However, hypothermia was associated with a lower serum creatinine concentration and a higher creatinine clearance 1 year after transplantation.
