RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Transanal and robotic-assisted total mesorectal excision are techniques that can potentially overcome challenges encountered with a pure laparoscopic approach in patients with rectal cancer. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the proportion and predictive factors of restorative procedures and subsequent short-term outcomes of 3 minimally invasive techniques to treat low rectal cancer. DESIGN: This is a nationwide observational comparative registry study. SETTINGS: Patients with rectal cancer were selected from the mandatory Dutch ColoRectal Audit. PATIENTS: Patients with low rectal cancer (≤5 cm) who underwent curative minimally invasive total mesorectal excision between 2015 and 2018 were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcomes measured were the proportion of restorative procedure, positive circumferential resection margin, and postoperative complications. RESULTS: A total of 3466 patients were included for analysis, of which 33% underwent a restorative procedure. Resections were performed laparoscopically in 2845 patients, transanally in 448 patients, and were robot-assisted in 173 patients, with a proportion of restorative procedures of 28%, 66%, and 40%. The transanal approach was independently associated with a restorative procedure (OR, 4.11; 95% CI, 3.21-5.26; p < 0.001). Independent risk factors for a nonrestorative procedure, irrespective of the surgical technique, were age >75 years, ASA physical status ≥3, BMI >30, history of abdominal surgery, clinical T4-stage, mesorectal fascia ≤1 mm, neoadjuvant therapy, and having a procedure in 2015 to 2016 versus 2017 to 2018. The circumferential resection margin involvement was similar for all 3 groups (5.4%, 5.1%, and 5.1%). Short-term postoperative complications were less favorable for the newer techniques than for the laparoscopic approach. LIMITATIONS: This study was limited because of the registry's variables and different group sizes. CONCLUSION: Patients with low rectal cancer in the Netherlands are more likely to receive a restorative procedure with a transanal approach, compared with a laparoscopic or robotic procedure. Short-term oncological outcomes are comparable between the 3 minimally invasive techniques. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/B608. INFLUENCIA DE LA TCNICA DE RESECCIN MINIMAMENTE INVASIVA CON PRESERVACIN DE ESFNTERES EN LA RESOLUCIN A CORTO PLAZO EN CANCER DE TERCIO INFERIOR DE RECTO EN LOS PASES BAJOS: ANTECEDENTES:La excisión mesorrectal transanal y asistida por robot son técnicas que potencialmente pueden superar algunos obstáculos que podemos encontrar en un abordaje exclusivamente laparoscópico en pacientes con cáncer de recto.OBJECTIVOS:El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar la proporción y los factores de predicción positivos de los procedimientos restauradores y los resultados subsecuentes a corto plazo de tres técnicas mínimamente invasivas para tratar el cáncer de tercio inferior de recto.DISEÑO:Es un estudio comparativo observacional del registro nacional.ESCENARIO:Pacientes con cáncer de recto seleccionados del Registro Oficial de la Auditoría Holandesa Colo-rectal.PACIENTGES:Pacientes con cáncer de tercio inferior de recto (≤5 centimetros) sometidos a excision mesorrectal total mínimamente invasiva curativa.PRINCIPALES PARAMETROS DE EFECTIVIDAD:Proporción de procedimientos restauradores, margen de resección circunferencial positivo y complicaciones postoperatorias.RESULTADOS:Se incluyeron un total de 3,466 pacientes para análisis, de los cuales 33% fueron sometidos a procedimiento restaurador. Las resecciones fueron laparoscópica en 2,845 pacientes, transanal en 448 y asistidas por robot en 173, con una proporción de procedimientos restauradores en 28%, 66% y 40% respectivamente. El abordaje transanal se correlacionó en forma independiente con el procedimiento restaurador (OR 4.11; 95% CI 4.11; 95% CI 3.21-5.26; p<0.001). Los factores de riesgo independientes para un procedimiento no restaurador, sin tomar en cuenta la técnica quirúrgica fueron: edad >75, American Society of Anesthesiologist ≥3, índice de masa corporal >30, antecedente de cirugía abdominal, Estadio clínico T4, fascia mesorrectal ≤1 millimetro, terapia neoadyuvante y haber sido sometido al procedimiento en 2015-2016 y no en 2017-2018. El margen circunferencial de resección involucrado fue similar para los tres grupos (5.4%, 5.1% y 5.1%). Las complicaciones postquirúrgicas a corto plazo fueron menos favorables para las técnicas nuevas comparadas con el abordaje laparoscópico.LIMTANTES:El estudio tiene la limitación de las variables dependientes del registro y la diferencia entre el número de pacientes en cada grupo.CONCLUSION:Los pacientes con cáncer de tercio inferior de recto en Holanda se tratan con mayor frecuencia mediante un procedimiento restaurador transanal en comparación con los abordajes laparoscópico o robótico. Los resultados favorables desde el punto de vista oncológico a corto plazo son comparables entre las tres técnicas de invasión mínima. Consulte Video Resumenhttp://links.lww.com/DCR/B608.

BACKGROUND: Patients with rectal cancer who achieve complete clinical response after neoadjuvant chemoradiation have been managed nonoperatively. Thirty percent of these patients may develop a local regrowth, and salvage resection with radical surgery is usually recommended. However, selected patients could be offered additional organ preservation by local excision. We hypothesized that patients with baseline T2 who underwent neoadjuvant therapy (for the specific purpose of achieving a complete clinical response) were more likely to harbor recurrent disease at an earlier stage and amenable to organ preservation strategies (local excision) when compared with T3/T4 (undergoing neoadjuvant chemoradiation for oncologic reasons). OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare patients with local regrowth requiring salvage resection according to their baseline stage. DESIGN: This was a retrospective review of consecutive patients with nonmetastatic distal rectal cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemoradiation. SETTINGS: The study included 2 independent tertiary centers with institutional watch-and-wait organ preservation programs. PATIENTS: Consecutive patients with distal rectal cancer (cT2-4N1-2M0) managed by watch and wait and local regrowth from 2 institutions were included. MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES: Final pathologic features and surgical and oncologic outcomes were compared according to baseline staging. RESULTS: A total of 73 of 257 patients experienced local regrowth. cT2 presented similar to ypT, ypN, R0, and abdominal perineal resection rates (p > 0.05) at the time of salvage when compared with cT3 to cT4. Patients with cT2 at baseline were more likely to undergo an organ preservation procedure for salvage (56.2% vs 26.5%; p = 0.03). Overall and disease-free survival after salvage were similar between groups irrespective of the type of surgery for the regrowth. LIMITATIONS: Retrospective study, small sample size, and possible inaccurate baseline staging. CONCLUSIONS: Although patients with baseline cT2 rectal cancer had similar pathologic stage at the time of recurrence, these patients were more likely to continue an organ preservation pathway after local regrowth through transanal local excision when compared with cT3 to cT4. Despite differences in the use of radical salvage resection, there were no differences in oncologic outcomes. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/B254. CIRUGÍA DE RESCATE CON PRESERVACIÓN DE ORGANO PARA PACIENTES CON RECIDIVA LOCAL LUEGO DE WATCH & WAIT: ¿SIGUE SIENDO POSIBLE?: Los pacientes con cáncer rectal que logran una respuesta clínica completa luego de la quimiorradiación neoadyuvante han sido tratados de forma no quirúrgica. El treinta por ciento de estos pacientes pueden desarrollar un nuevo crecimiento local y generalmente se recomienda la resección de rescate con cirugía radical. Sin embargo, en pacientes seleccionados se podría ofrecer la posibilidad de preservación de órgano mediante escisión local. Se formuló la hipótesis de que los pacientes con estadio clinico inicial T2 y sometidos a terapia neoadyuvante (con el propósito específico de lograr una respuesta clínica completa) tenían más probabilidades de presentar una recurrencia local en una etapa más temprana y suceptibles de estrategias de preservación de órgano (escisión local) en comparación con T3 / T4 (sometidos a nCRT por razones oncológicas).Comparar los pacientes con recidiva local que requirieron cirugia de rescate de acuerdo con su estadio inicial.Revisión retrospectiva de pacientes consecutivos con cáncer de recto distal no metastásico sometidos a quimiorradiación neoadyuvante.Dos centros terciarios independientes con programas institucionales de preservación de órgano - Watch & Wait.Pacientes consecutivos con cáncer rectal distal (cT2-4N1-2M0) manejados por Watch & Wait y recidiva local.Las características patológicas finales, los resultados quirúrgicos y oncológicos se compararon de acuerdo con la estadificación inicial.Un total de 73 de 257 pacientes presentaron recidiva local. cT2 presentaron similares ypT, ypN, R0 y tasas de resección abdominoperineal (p>0,05) en el momento del rescate en comparación con cT3-4.Los pacientes con cT2 de base tuvieron más probabilidades de someterse a un procedimiento de preservación de órgano durante el rescate (56,2% frente a 26,5%; p = 0,03). Supervivencia general y DFS después del rescate fueron similares entre los grupos, independientemente del tipo de cirugía para la recidiva.Estudio retrospectivo, tamaño de muestra pequeño, la posible estadificación basal inexacta.Aunque los pacientes con cáncer rectal cT2 de base presentaron estadio patologico similar en el momento de la recidiva, estos pacientes tuvieron más probabilidades de continuar una vía de preservación de órgano luego de una recidiva local a través de la escisión local transanal en comparación con cT3-4. A pesar de las diferencias en el uso de la resección radical de rescate, no hubo diferencias en los resultados oncológicos. Consulte Video Resumen en http://links.lww.com/DCR/B254.

BACKGROUND: The optimal strategy for colonic polyps not amenable to traditional endoscopic polypectomy is unknown. Endoscopic step up is a promising strategy for definitive treatment. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine whether endoscopic step up leads to improved outcomes and decreased costs compared with planned colectomy for endoscopically unresectable colon polyps. DESIGN: This was a retrospective review of a prospective database. SETTING: The study was conducted at a tertiary referral center. PATIENTS: Consecutive patients referred for endoscopically unresectable colon polyps 15 to 50 mm in size were included. INTERVENTIONS: Patients underwent planned colectomy or endoscopic step up at the surgeon's discretion. Endoscopic step up began with diagnostic colonoscopy in the operating room. If the polyp was amenable to endoscopic removal, endoscopic mucosal resection or endoscopic submucosal dissection was performed with progression to combined endoscopic-laparoscopic surgery or laparoscopic colectomy, as indicated. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome was 30-day adverse events. We also examined length of stay, hospital charges, insurer payments, and polyp recurrence. RESULTS: A total of 52 patients underwent planned colectomy (48 laparoscopic), and 38 underwent endoscopic step up (28 endoscopic mucosal resection, 2 endoscopic submucosal dissection, 6 combined endoscopic-laparoscopic surgery, and 2 colectomy). Compared with planned colectomy, endoscopic step-up patients had fewer complications (13% vs 33%; p = 0.03) and shorter length of stay (median, 0 vs 4 d; p < 0.001). There was 1 readmission in the endoscopic step-up group and 5 in the planned colectomy group. Endoscopic step-up patients had lower hospital costs ($4790 vs $13,004; p < 0.001) and insurer payments ($2431 vs $19,951; p < 0.001). One-year polyp recurrence-free survival was 84% (95% CI, 67%-93%) in endoscopic step-up patients. All of the recurrences were benign, <1 cm, and managed endoscopically. LIMITATIONS: The study was limited by its nonrandomized design and short follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: An endoscopic step-up approach to colon polyps is associated with less morbidity, decreased healthcare costs, and colon preservation in 95% of patients. Additional studies are needed to evaluate long-term quality of life and polyp recurrence in this group. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/B188. ENDOSCOPIC STEP UP: UNA ALTERNATIVA A COLECTOMíA PARA PRESERVACIóN DE COLON CON LOS PROPóSITOS DE MEJORAR RESULTADOS Y REDUCIR COSTOS EN PACIENTES CON PóLIPOS NEOPLáSICOS AVANZADOS: Se desconoce la estrategia óptima para los pólipos de colon no susceptibles a la polipectomia endoscópica tradicional. Endoscopic Step Up es una estrategia prometedora para el tratamiento definitivo.Determinar si Endoscopic Step Up produce mejores resultados y menores costos en comparación con la colectomía programada para pólipos de colon endoscópicamente no resecables.Revisión retrospectiva de una base de datos prospectiva.Centro de referencia de tercer nivel.Pacientes consecutivos remitidos para pólipos de colon endoscópicamente irresecables de tamaño 15-50 mm.Los pacientes se sometieron a colectomía programada o Endoscópico Step Up a discreción del cirujano. Endoscopic Step Up comenzó con una colonoscopia diagnóstica en el quirófano. Si el pólipo era susceptible de extirpación endoscópica, la resección endoscópica de la mucosa o la disección submucosa endoscópica se realizaba con progresión a cirugía endoscópica-laparoscópica combinada o colectomía laparoscópica, según a cosnideraciones clínicas en el transoperatorio.El resultado primario fue los eventos adversos a 30 días. Duración de la estadía hospitalaria, los cargos hospitalarios, los pagos de las aseguradoras y la recurrencia de pólipos también fueron examinados.Un total de 52 pacientes se sometieron a colectomía programada (48 laparoscópicas) y 38 se sometieron a Endoscopic Step Up (28 resección endoscópica de la mucosa, 2 disección submucosa endoscópica, 6 cirugía endoscópica-laparoscópica combinada y 2 colectomía). En comparación con la colectomía programada los pacientes endoscópicos Step Up tuvieron menos complicaciones (13% versus 33%, p = 0.03) y una estadía hospitalaria más corta (mediana 0 versus 4 días, p <0.001). Hubo 1 reingreso hospitalario en el grupo Endoscopic Step Up y 5 en el grupo de colectomía programada. Los pacientes endoscópicos Step Up tuvieron costos hospitalarios más bajos ($ 4,790 versus $ 13,004, p <0,001) y pagos de la aseguradora ($ 2,431 versus $ 19,951, p <0,001). La supervivencia libre de recurrencia de pólipos a un año fue del 84% (IC 95% 67-93) en pacientes endoscópicos Step Up. Todas las recurrencias fueron benignas, <1 cm, y manejadas endoscópicamente.Diseño no aleatorizado y seguimiento corto.El abordaje endoscópico Step Up para pólipos de colon se asocia con menos morbilidad, disminución de los costos de atención médica y preservación del colon en el 95% de los pacientes. Se ocupan más estudios para evaluar la calidad de vida a largo plazo y la recurrencia de pólipos en este grupo. Consulte Video Resumen en http://links.lww.com/DCR/B188.

Parameters of retrieval surgery are meticulously documented in the United Kingdom, where up to 40% of livers are donation after circulatory death (DCD) donations. This retrospective analysis focuses on outcomes after transplantation of DCD livers, retrieved by different UK centers between 2011 and 2016. Donor and recipient risk factors and the donor retrieval technique were assessed. A total of 236 DCD livers from 9 retrieval centers with a median UK DCD risk score of 5 (low risk) to 7 points (high risk) were compared. The majority used University of Wisconsin solution for aortic flush with a median hepatectomy time of 27-44 minutes. The overall liver injury rate appeared relatively high (27.1%) with an observed tendency toward more retrieval injuries from centers performing a quicker hepatectomy. Among all included risk factors, the UK DCD risk score remained the best predictor for overall graft loss in the multivariate analysis (P < 0.001). In high-risk and futile donor-recipient combinations, the occurrence of liver retrieval injuries had negative impact on graft survival (P = 0.023). Expectedly, more ischemic cholangiopathies (P = 0.003) were found in livers transplanted with a higher cumulative donor-recipient risk. Although more biliary complications with subsequent graft loss were found in high-risk donor-recipient combinations, the impact of the standardized national retrieval practice on outcomes after DCD liver transplantation was minimal.

This study is a retrospective analysis of clinico-pathological data to investigate survival rates of patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) treated with different modalities in a single academic head and neck cancer center in different time intervals. Altogether, 287 patients with OPSCC were included in this comparison. Patients were analysed during two different treatment periods: Group 1 included patients treated mainly with primary surgery ± adjuvant radio(chemo)therapy between 2002 and 2007, while Group 2 included patients treated with organ/function-preservation protocols if indicated. Main outcome measures were overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Between 2002 and 2007, early-stage OPSCC showed a 5-year OS of 75% compared to that of 86% between 2008 and 2013. Locally advanced OPSCC showed a 5-year OS of 66% between 2002 and 2007 compared to that of 74% between 2008 and 2013. RFS in early-stage OPSCC was 48% between 2002 and 2007 in contrast to that of 77% between 2008 and 2013. With locally advanced OPSCC, RFS was 55% between 2002 and 2007 compared to that of 56% between 2008 and 2013. These differences were statistically not significant. The OS and RFS remained generally unchanged over the analysed time period. There was no significant difference in the outcomes with regards to HPV status and to their treatment modality.

BACKGROUND: The organ-preserving partial nephrectomy has increasingly established itself in small unilateral renal tumours (<4 cm) with contralateral healthy kidney and counter gained in recent years in importance. There was found a significantly increased cardiovascular mortality rate and deteriorated quality of life, the more intact kidney tissue has been removed. OBJECTIVES: In the present study, the influence of pre- and perioperative factors on direct postoperative course was examined, including 5-year survival rate and relapse behaviour after open organ-preserving partial nephrectomy in our own collective. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this retrospective study of 1657 patients were collected, who underwent surgery between 2007 and 2013 in the Department of Urology at the University Hospital Essen because of a renal tumour. 38 % of these operations (n = 636) were performed organ-preserving. In this trial there are factors identified that have an impact on need of blood transfusion and length of hospitalization in organ-preserving operation method. RESULTS: No independent parameter can be determined for the need of blood transfusion. Tumour size and thus time of resection procedure does not affect the need of erythrocytes administration. In addition, the tumour size influences neither the postoperative serum-haemoglobin nor serum-creatinine. Increased patient age and female gender are identified as non-modifiable factors, which cause a longer hospitalisation. Postoperative pain therapy can be considered as a variable size, which does not affect the length of hospital stay. Modifiable factors that increase the overall length of stay, however, are the type of direct postoperative monitoring (ICU vs. anaesthetic recovery room) and the administration of blood transfusions. CONCLUSIONS: There are constant factors, which can be associated with a longer residence time in the framework of an organ-preserving partial nephrectomy. Further there is shown evidence of the independence of the tumour size - in addition to proven good oncological results - of an extension of indication of organ-preserving nephrectomy of tumours > 4 cm.

BACKGROUND: Cold ischemia associated with cold static storage is an independent risk factor for primary allograft failure and survival of patients after orthotopic heart transplantation. The effects of normothermic ex vivo allograft blood perfusion on outcomes after orthotopic heart transplantation compared to cold static storage have been studied. METHODS: In this prospective, nonrandomized, single-institutional clinical study, normothermic ex vivo allograft blood perfusion has been performed using an organ care system (OCS) (TransMedics, Andover, MA, USA). Included were consecutive adult transplantation patients who received an orthotopic heart transplantation (oHTx) without a history of any organ transplantation, in the absence of a congenital heart disorder as an underlying disease and not being in need of a combined heart-lung transplantation. Furthermore, patients with fixed pulmonary hypertension, ventilator dependency, chronic renal failure, or panel reactive antibodies >20% and positive T-cell cross-matching were excluded. Inclusion criteria for donor hearts was age of <55 years, systolic blood pressure >85 mmHg at the time of final heart assessment under moderate inotropic support, heart rate of <120 bpm at the time of explantation, and left ventricular ejection fraction >40% assessed by an transcutaneous echo/Doppler study with the absence of gross wall motion abnormalities, absence of left ventricular hypertrophy, and absence of valve abnormalities. Donor hearts which were conventionally cold stored with histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate solution (Custodiol; Koehler Chemie, Ansbach, Germany) constituted the control group. The primary end point was the recipients' survival at 30 days and 1 and 2 years after their heart transplantation. Secondary end points were primary and chronic allograft failure, noncardiac complications, and length of hospital stay. RESULTS: Over a 2-year period (January 2006 to July 2008), 159 adult cardiac allografts were transplanted. Twenty-nine were assigned for normothermic ex vivo allograft blood perfusion and 130 for cold static storage with HTK solution. Cumulative survival rates at 30 days and 1 and 2 years were 96%, 89%, and 89%, respectively, whereas in the cold static storage group survival after oHTx was 95%, 81%, and 79%. Primary graft failure was less frequent in the recipients of an oHTx who received a donor heart which had been preserved with normothermic ex vivo allograft blood perfusion using an OCS (6.89% versus 15.3%; P = .20). Episodes of severe acute rejection (23% versus 17.2%; P = .73), as well as, cases of acute renal failure requiring haemodialysis (25.3% versus 10%; P = .05) were more frequent diagnosed among recipients of a donor heart which had been preserved using the cold static storage. The length of hospital stay did not differ (26 days versus 28 days; P = .80) in both groups. CONCLUSIONS: Normothermic ex vivo allograft blood perfusion in adult clinical orthotopic heart transplantation contributes to better outcomes after transplantation in regard to recipient survival, incidence of primary graft dysfunction, and incidence of acute rejection.

Objetivo: Traçar o perfil do doador de olhos e avaliar os fatores que influenciam na qualidade das córneas captadas pelo Banco de Olhos da Santa Casa de Misericórdia de São Paulo (SCMSP), no período de junho de 2000 a janeiro de 2004. Métodos: Foram estudados os dados dos prontuários de 151 pacientes submetidos a transplante penetrante de córnea, cadastrados no Banco de Olhos da SCMSP, no período entre junho de 2000 e janeiro de 2004, totalizando 180 operações. Resultados: A média da idade dos doadores foi de 55,57 ± 19,74 anos (variando de 9 meses a 97 anos de idade), sendo 54,44 por cento dos pacientes do sexo masculino. As causas mortis predominantes foram as cardiovasculares, com 50,55 por cento, seguidas das doenças consumptivas 17,77 por cento, traumáticas 14,44 por cento e outras, que somadas representam 17,22 por cento. Em relação à qualidade da córnea, não houve diferença estatística significativa em relação aos quatro grupos causas mortis p=0,527), e o tempo decorrido entre o óbito e a preservação (p=0,053). Houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre a qualidade das córneas de doadores da faixa etária acima de 61 anos de idade em relação às outras faixas etárias (p= 0,037). Conclusão: As causas mortis mais frequentes foram as cardiovasculares, seguidas das causas pulmonares, outras e traumáticas. Observamos também que entre os fatores inerentes ao doador, a faixa etária acima de 60 anos, predispôs à pior qualidade anatômica das córneas, e fatores como a causa mortis e o tempo decorrido entre o óbito e a preservação, não influenciaram na qualidade das mesmas.
Purpose: To identify the donors' profile and evaluate the factors influencing the quality of the donated corneas in Santa Casa Eye Bank, from July, 2000 to January, 2004. Methods: Data from the charts of 151 patients submitted to penetrating keratoplasty, registered in Santa Casa Eye Bank, from July, 2000 to January 2004 resulted in 180 surgeries. Results: Mean age of the donors was 57.57 ± 19.74 years old (varied from 9 months to 97 years old) and 54.44 percent were male. The cause of death was predominantly cardiovascular (50.55 percent), followed by consumptive diseases (17.77 percent), trauma (14.44 percent) and others (17.22 percent). Considering the quality of the cornea, there was no statistically significant difference among the three main groups of cause of death (p=0.527) and time from death to corneal preservation (p=0.053). There was a statistically significant difference between quality of donated corneas above 61 years old and other ages (p=0.037). Conclusion: The most frequent cause of death was cardiovascular, followed by pulmonary diseases and trauma. We could also note that factors inherent to donor like age (>60 years old) predisposed to a worse anatomical quality of the cornea and factors like cause of death and time between death and preservation did not influence the quality of the cornea.

BACKGROUND: Use of University of Wisconsin solution has been suggested for extended organ preservation >4 hours in experimental cardiac transplantation, but few data have been reported from clinical use. This study investigated the impact of preservation with UW solution after prolonged ischemic times on myocardial damage and outcomes after heart transplantation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between 1994 and 2006, 34 orthotopic heart transplantations were performed at our institution with cold ischemic times of >or=300 minutes (mean, 325.1 +/- 21.3). Donor organs were perfused with and stored in 1000 mL of University of Wisconsin solution. No significant differences were observed with regard to age, gender, diagnosis, donor inotropic support, and donor-recipient weight ratio when compared with recipients undergoing an ischemic time <300 minutes. RESULTS: After a mean follow-up of 47.6 months (range, 1 day to 147.1 months), Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed survivals of 91.0% at 3 months, and 82.9% for the entire observation period. The time required to wean from bypass (mean, 78.1 minutes) was equal when compared with that of recipients experiencing grafts undergoing an ischemic time of <300 minutes, but there was a significantly greater average need for inotropic support over the first 48 posttransplant hours. Neither hospital stay in the ICU (mean, 13.0 days; range, 1-55 days) nor the incidence of acute graft failure or survival was different. CONCLUSION: We conclude that heart preservation with UW limited ischemic damage from prolonged storage and improved myocardial function in the early posttransplant period, thus allowing transplantation of organs with ischemic times >300 minutes.

INTRODUCTION: The European Working Time Directive (EWTD) is calling for reduction in the working hours of doctors. Renal transplantation is well-recognised as an out-of-hours specialty. Our study looks at whether our renal transplant centre's attempt to reduce cold ischaemic time (CIT) has impacted on the pattern of operating times since this may have implications on the surgeons' working hours. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We studied 883 adult cadaver kidney transplants performed between 1 January 1992 and 31 December 2002. CIT and time of surgery was obtained from a local audit database (

BACKGROUND: By minimizing tissue ischemia, continuous perfusion (CP) during organ transport may increase the safety of "marginal donors." My colleagues and I investigated whether an analysis of donor heart viability predicts recovery of grafts challenged with a 24-hour preservation interval. METHODS: Dog hearts underwent cold static storage (CS) for 8 hours (n = 8) or 24 hours (n = 2) or CP for 24 hours with cold asanguinous, oxygenated solution (n = 8). Myocardial systolic and diastolic function and oxygen and lactate consumption were assessed at base line, during CP, and after Langendorff blood reperfusion. Base line endothelial function was evaluated by the percentage transcoronary change ([coronary sinus - aorta]/aorta) in myeloperoxidase and by platelet function and coronary flow reserve after 20 seconds of coronary artery occlusion. During CP, the endothelium was assessed by transcoronary protein release and coronary resistance. Edema was assessed by weight gain and histology. RESULTS: Base line systolic and metabolic functions showed no relation to post-Langendorff function. Compared with CS, CP resulted in a greater recovery in systolic function (87% +/- 35% vs 65% +/- 15% of baseline; p = 0.05) and a shorter interval required for lactate consumption to exceed production (7.0 +/- 6.8 minutes vs 15.0 +/- 8.9 minutes; p = 0.06). Endothelial function was heterogeneous: coronary flow reserve, 2.7 +/- 0.7; percentage change in myeloperoxidase, -8.4% +/- 6.8%; and change in platelet function, 4.3% +/- 3.5%, as determined by thromboelastography angle at base line. Protein release during CP for 24 hours was 8.3 +/- 7.1 g. Two factors predicted more than 75% systolic pressure generation recovery: use of CP and normal endothelial function (p = 0.05; Fisher's exact test). However, CP led to edema according to histology, weight gain (72 +/- 29 g), and impaired diastolic function versus CS (end-diastolic pressure-volume relationship, 1.4 +/- 0.4 mm Hg/mL vs 0.8 +/- 0.3 mm Hg/mL; p = 0.08). CONCLUSIONS: Better systolic function despite 16 hours' more preservation than cold storage corroborates the idea that CP supports aerobic metabolism at physiologically important levels. Viability analysis focused on endothelial function and identified organs that were able to tolerate this 24-hour preservation interval.

BACKGROUND: The poor tolerance of the lung to ischemia and reperfusion (IR) still represents one of the limitations in clinically successful lung transplantation. Modified Euro-Collins (EC) is routinely used in lung preservation, but alternative solutions have been developed for improvement of pulmonary preservation. Celsior is an extracellular solution that has significantly reduced the IR-induced pulmonary damage in animal studies. So far, no extensive experimental studies exist concerning the influence of Celsior on pulmonary gas exchange following IR. METHODS: In an extracorporeal rat lung model 10 lungs, each, were preserved with Celsior (CE) and Celsior/prostacyclin (CEPC, 6 microg/100 ml) at 4 degrees and 15 degrees C, each, and compared to low-potassium Euro-Collins (EC-40, 40 mmol/liter potassium). After 2 hours of ischemia lungs were reventilated and reperfused using a roller pump. Oxygenation in terms of oxygen partial tension in the left atrial effluent, pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), peak inspiratory pressure, and wet/dry ratio were monitored for 50 minutes. Furthermore, edema formation was evaluated by light microscopy. Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA models. RESULTS: Compared to the EC-40 group, oxygenation was increased and amount of edema was reduced in most Celsior-preserved organs (p<0.032) with exception of the CEPC group at 4 degrees C (p = 0.06). Additional application of prostacyclin did not have any significant effect on oxygenation in the Celsior group. However, after temperature elevation of the CEPC perfusate to 15 degrees C, a superior partial tension of oxygen was observed (p<0.023) in contrast to the 4 degrees C groups CE and CEPC. The lowest PVR was found in the CE 4 degrees C group (p<0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Celsior provides better lung preservation than EC-40 solution. Application of prostacyclin at higher perfusate temperatures results in additional functional improvement. In vivo experiments and ultrastructural analysis are warranted for further evaluation of Celsior in lung preservation.

BACKGROUND: Risk factors for death after heart transplantation (Tx) are frequently documented from multicenter registries. Although this information is helpful, it reflects a whole range of experiences and results, and may not translate to a particular center. This study was performed to (1) evaluate pre-Tx factors affecting mortality in a single-center experience, and (2) compare these factors with risk factors obtained from multicenter registry reports. METHODS: Review of our transplant database between January 1984 and December 1995 identified 405 adults who received a primary heart Tx. Multiple factors were analyzed, including demographics, Tx era, cytomegalovirus status, United Network for Organ Sharing status of recipient, presence of pulmonary hypertension, previous cardiac operations, mechanical ventilation or circulatory support, ischemia time, number of rejection episodes, and preoperative flow cytometry crossmatching. RESULTS: One- and 5-year survival rates were 87.8% and 73.4%, respectively (Kaplan-Meier). Contrary to multicenter registry reports, our data indicate that reoperative procedures, left ventricular assist device support, increasing donor and recipient age, and ischemia time up to 4.2 hours are not risk factors for death after Tx. Likewise, mode of donor death is not a risk factor affecting outcome. Significant risk factors for mortality identified by multivariate analysis included early transplant era (1984 to 1989; p = 0.002), female donor (p = 0.042), cytomegalovirus-seropositive donor (p = 0.048), high pulmonary vascular resistance (p = 0.018), and intraaortic balloon pump support (p = 0.03). It also identified a positive B-cell flow cytometry crossmatch (p = 0.015) to be a risk factor with univariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Our data identify a group of recipients, reportedly at high risk in multicenter registries, who are not at increased risk of death after Tx. This information supports the growing experience with older donors and recipients and with bridged transplants, and has allowed us to expand our donor pool. These prognostic factors at evaluation allow more liberal selection of patients and donors for transplantation.

BACKGROUND: The hypothermic simple immersion technique has been widely used to preserve the donor heart for transplantation. However, there is still controversy as to which temperature provides the best protection against prolonged ischemia. The low molecular weight solutes within cells depress the freezing point to -0.6 degree C. In practice, however, most cells do not freeze internally unless they are cooled below -10 degrees C. We investigated the effects of subzero nonfreezing storage at -1 degree C on the preservation of myocardial metabolism and function. METHODS: Isolated Wistar rat hearts were subjected to 6 hours of preservation with the intracellular type University of Wisconsin solution; the hearts of the subzero group were preserved at subzero nonfreezing (-1 degree C) temperature, and the hearts of the control group were at 4 degrees C. Recovery of cardiac function, myocardial adenine nucleotides content, and myocardial water content were evaluated after preservation. RESULTS: Subzero group resulted in significantly better aortic flow, cardiac output, and aortic systolic pressure than in the control group. Myocardial adenosine triphosphate, adenosine diphosphate, and total adenine nucleotides at end-storage were significantly better preserved in subzero group when compared with the control group. Myocardial water content at reperfusion significantly increased in the control group compared with the subzero group. CONCLUSIONS: Storage in the intracellular type solution at subzero nonfreezing (-1 degree C) temperature as compared with 4 degrees C appears to prolong myocardial preservation with respect to the enhancement of postischemic functional recovery, preservation of myocardial adenine nucleotides during ischemia, and prevention of myocardial edema at reperfusion.
