Preservation solution for cardiac donor graft is very important and affect patient short term or long-term survival. In this webinar, Dewei Ren, MD (Houston) will report his center experience in recipient outcomes when using Histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) as preservation solution. A total of 223 heart transplants were performed at the Houston Methodist Hospital between January 2010 and October 2017, including 10 heart retransplants. The protective effect of two preservation solution was compared, HTK and Celsior. Ren and colleagues analyzed demographic, clinical diagnoses, and morbidity. 

The following parameters will be reviewed: 1) The risk factors of primary graft dysfunction (PGD) and 2) Compare preservation solutions. In conclusion, the analysis of this cohort showed that HTK solution is better than Celsior solution for cardiac transplant at short-term outcome, BMI >/ =35 is the risk factor at short- and long-term survival.

We are looking forward to your participation!
