Development of a Swine Whole Eye Transplant Ex Vivo Perfusion Protocol

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
This study establishes the first subnormothermic machine perfusion protocol for whole eye transplants in a swine model, enabling up to 18 h of preservation with stable metabolic function, limited edema, and recovery of mydriasis. ABSTRACT Background The first human Whole Eye Transplant (WET) has sparked new hope for patients who have lost vision due to

Hormonal Treatment During Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion Ameliorates Brain Death Induced Inflammation

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Treatment of lungs during ex vivo perfusion with 17β‐estradiol and methylprednisolone improved graft quality. In females, treated and non‐treated groups presented reduced leukocyte infiltration and only the treatment improved perfusion flow. In males, treatment improved lung function by increasing compliance, paO2, and perfusion flow.

An In Vitro System for Studying Toxin Transport Across Hemodialysis Membranes

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Development of an in vitro hemodialysis (HD) system based on mini dialyzers for evaluating hemodialysis membranes under physiologically relevant conditions. ABSTRACT Background Healthy kidneys regulate acid–base balance and electrolytes, produce hormones, and clear excess fluids and uremic toxins.

Percutaneous Intervention in External Outflow Graft Obstruction of Magnetically Levitated Left Ventricular Assist Device: Long‐Term Follow‐Up and Quality of Life

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
eOGO is an uncommon adverse event in patients on long‐term LVAD support. Thirty‐one eOGO patients were identified in a single‐centre HM3 implantation program. Twenty patients underwent percutaneous stenting. This treatment resulted in immediate LVAD flow improvement and yielded satisfactory quality‐of‐life results, with 62.5% patients assigned a fair ...

Identification of Coagulation Phenotypes Using Viscoelastic and Conventional Assays During Veno‐Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Hierarchical Clustering Analysis

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Hierarchical clustering of viscoelastic and conventional coagulation parameters identified three distinct phenotypes in V‐V ECMO patients, revealing substantial APTT–CK‐R discordance and highlighting the value of TEG‐derived markers for detecting coagulopathy not captured by standard monitoring.

Anticoagulation Strategies in Adults Undergoing Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
In this meta‐analysis of 2 775 adult ECMO patients from non‐randomized studies, direct thrombin inhibitors and low‐molecular‐weight heparins demonstrated a favorable efficacy and safety profile over unfractionated heparin. These findings suggest them to be effective alternatives to unfractionated heparin, underscoring the urgent need for randomized ...
