The role of early management and hormone replacement therapy in potential heart and lung donors [PDF]
, 2010 Heart and lung transplantation activity is frustrated by the lack of availability of donor organs. The haemodynamic, hormonal and inflammatory changes that follow brain stem death leads to donor organ injury.

Left ventricle unloading during veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: review with updated evidence [PDF]
Acute and Critical CareVeno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is widely used to treat medically refractory cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest, and its usage has increased exponentially over time. Although VA-ECMO has many advantages over other mechanical
