Background
Transplantation of hearts retrieved from donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors is an evolving clinical practice.Objectives
The purpose of this study is to provide an update on the authors’ Australian clinical program and discuss lessons learned since performing the world’s first series of distantly procured DCD heart transplants.Methods
The authors report their experience of 23 DCD heart transplants from 45 DCD donor referrals since 2014. Donor details were collected using electronic donor records (Donate Life, Australia) and all recipient details were collected from clinical notes and electronic databases at St. Vincent’s Hospital.Results
Hearts were retrieved from 33 of 45 DCD donors. A total of 12 donors did not progress to circulatory arrest within the pre-specified timeframe. Eight hearts failed to meet viability criteria during normothermic machine perfusion, and 2 hearts were declined due to machine malfunction. A total of 23 hearts were transplanted between July 2014 and April 2018. All recipients had successful implantation, with mechanical circulatory support utilized in 9 cases. One case requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation subsequently died on the sixth post-operative day, representing a mortality of 4.4% over 4 years with a total follow-up period of 15,500 days for the entire cohort. All surviving recipients had normal cardiac function on echocardiogram and no evidence of acute rejection on discharge. All surviving patients remain in New York Heart Association functional class I with normal biventricular function.Conclusions
DCD heart transplant outcomes are excellent. Despite a higher requirement for mechanical circulatory support for delayed graft function, primarily in recipients with ventricular assist device support, overall survival and rejection episodes are comparable to outcomes from contemporary brain-dead donors. 相似文献3.

BackgroundPrimary graft dysfunction (PGD), the leading cause of early mortality after heart transplantation, is more common following donation after circulatory death (DCD) than donation after brain death (DBD). We conducted a single-center, retrospective cohort study to compare the incidence, severity and outcomes of patients experiencing PGD after DCD compared to DBD heart transplantation.Methods and ResultsMedical records were reviewed for all adult heart transplant recipients at our institution between March 2016 and December 2021. PGD was diagnosed within 24 hours after transplant according to modified International Society for Heart and Lung Transplant criteria. A total of 459 patients underwent isolated heart transplantation during the study period, 65 (14%) following DCD and 394 (86%) following DBD. The incidence of moderate or severe PGD in DCD and DBD recipients was 34% and 23%, respectively (P = 0.070). DCD recipients were more likely to experience severe biventricular PGD than DBD recipients (19% vs 7.4%; P = 0.004). Among patients with severe PGD, DCD recipients experienced shorter median (Q1, Q3) duration of post-transplant mechanical circulatory support (6 [4, 7] vs 9 [5, 14] days; P = 0.039), shorter median post-transplant hospital length of stay (17 [15, 29] vs 52 [26, 83] days; P = 0.004), and similar 60-day survival rates (100% [95% CI: 76.8%–100%] vs 80.0% [63.1%–91.6%]; P = 0.17) and overall survival (log-rank; P = 0.078) compared with DBD recipients.ConclusionsDCD heart transplant recipients were more likely to experience severe, biventricular PGD than DBD recipients. Despite this, DCD recipients with severe PGD spent fewer days on mechanical circulatory support and in the hospital than similar DBD patients. These findings suggest that patterns of graft dysfunction and recovery may differ between donor types, and they support the expansion of the heart-donor pool with DCD. 相似文献

Time Course of Death After Acute Coronary Syndrome Treated With Dual Antiplatelet Therapy for 1 Year
《The American journal of medicine》2023,136(5):484-488
BackgroundExcess mortality remains the cornerstone concern despite dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after acute coronary syndrome. Some data suggest that shorter periods than 12 months of DAPT diminish bleeding risks yet still provide adequate vascular protection and improving survival. However, the precise timing of deaths after acute coronary syndrome has not been mapped in many studies. This knowledge may be critical for defining optimal treatment duration.MethodsAccess was gained to the data set for the Platelet Inhibition and Outcomes (PLATO) trial, which was issued by the Food and Drug Administration, in which post hoc analyses of timing of death events during DAPT (with either aspirin/ticagrelor or aspirin/clopidogrel) were performed. All-cause individual deaths were counted and plotted over time from day 1 to day 365 after the index event.ResultsAmong 18,624 enrollees, 938 total deaths were reported to the Food and Drug Administration in PLATO. After exclusion of deceased patients with missing dates, randomization errors, and deaths beyond 1 year of follow-up, 913 fatalities (509 after clopidogrel and 404 after ticagrelor) were analyzed. The PLATO records did not indicate where exactly deaths occurred making impossible to triage in the hospital versus outpatient fatalities. Most frequent deaths occurred within the Day 1 (n = 41); Day 2 (n = 48); and Day 3 (n = 33) and overall during the first week (n = 202; 22.1%) after the index acute coronary syndrome, with a gradual decline after Day 10 and Day 60, reaching background counts after Day 220.ConclusionFocusing on mortality reduction, this large data set may support a shorter than 12 months’ duration of DAPT. 相似文献

Heart transplantation remains the gold-standard therapy for end-stage heart failure; the expected median survival range is 12–13 years. More than 30,000 heart transplants have been performed globally in the past decade alone. With advances in medical and surgical therapies for heart failure, including durable left ventricular assist devices, an increasing number of patients are living with end-stage disease. Last year alone, more than 2500 patients were added to the heart-transplant waitlist in the United States. Despite recent efforts to expand the donor pool, including an increase in transplantation of hepatitis C-positive and extended-criteria donors, supply continues to fall short of demand. Donation after circulatory death (DCD), defined by irreversible cardiopulmonary arrest rather than donor brain death, is widely used in other solid-organ transplants, including kidney and liver, but has not been widely adopted in heart transplantation. However, resurging interest in DCD donation and the introduction of ex vivo perfusion technology has catalyzed recent clinical trials and the development of DCD heart-transplantation programs. Herein, we review the history of DCD heart transplantation, describe the currently used procurement protocols for it and examine clinical challenges and outcomes of such a procedure. 相似文献
