Heart Transplant

providing transplantation services for heart requires a delicate mix of expertise, skill, and technology. The use of DCD hearts , NRP and OCS machines, the careful selection of surgeons and their use of best practices in the harvesting process, and the vigilance and care of medical professionals throughout the transplantation process is paramount for the success of heart transplantation. We must continue to sustain this delicate balance to save lives, alleviate human pain and ultimately make our world a better place.

Donor net primary survey calls.

Serving as a primary survey for Donor Net's call for hearts is an important responsibility. By providing accurate and detailed information about potential organ donors, you play a critical role in the process of matching donors with those in need of life-saving transplants. Your attention to detail and commitment to thoroughness can make all the difference in ensuring successful outcomes for individuals and families. Thank you for your dedication to this important work, and for your contribution to improving the lives of others through organ donation.

We can take calls 24/7 to cover this step of transplantation

We have a nationwide net of heart failure cardiologists can do the primary survey.

Heart recovery from donors after brain death DBD .

Careful coordination and communication among healthcare professionals are essential for successful heart harvesting and transplantation. As such, the importance of heart harvesting cannot be overstated, and it remains a vital component of the broader field of organ transplantation. We are very familiar with the new devices for preservation and transportation such as Sherpa and organ care system. We have the expertise for instrumenting and connecting the heart to it .

We provide the surgeon to perform the operation

We provide an assistant

We provide a preservationist

We can provide the hall team as a package

We make sure to follow each institution preference in the recovery process

Heart recovery from donors after Circulatory death DCD

Donation after DCD has increased the pool of organs such as heart and lungs, it can increase the number of heart transplants by 15-30% and reduce the death rate in the hospital's waiting list by 40%. There are two methods to recover the heart.

Outside the chest resuscitation : in the this method, the chest is opened swiftly , the right atrium (RA) is cannulated with a large two-stage venous cannula, and 1100cc to 1500cc of blood is collected in blood collecting bags in less than 1 to 1.5 minutes followed by aortic cross-clamping and delivery of cold cardioplegia into the aortic root. After the cross clamp and delivery of cardioplegia, the heart recovered . Then connect the recovered heart to the organ care system (OCS) after the procurement to allow coronary perfusion. This allows the heart to recover from the warm ischemic injury and allows the real-time assessment of the heart function. And finally the heart is delivered to the transplant center on the machine which always to transport the heart for long distance.

Intra-thoracic resuscitation , the aorta and right atrium are cannulated, and modified veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is instituted called normothermic regional perfusion (NRP). Normothermic regional perfusion is of two types depending upon the organs planned to be recovered. In donors where the heart, as well as other abdominal organs, are planned to be recovered, thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion (TA-NRP) is performed, while in donors with only abdominal organ recovery, abdominal-NRP (A-NRP) is performed . The different cannulation and circuit methods are illustrated in Figure. After establishing the circulation we perform assessment of the heart after 30 and 45 minutes . if the heart is ago then we perform a normal recovery and we deliver the heart using cold ischemia or normothermic on OCS .
