ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Our research team obtained a human heart with the right lung attached from a recent transplantation patient via a research collaboration with LifeSource, a local organ procurement organization. The heart and lungs were not viable for transplant given the patient's medical history and were subsequently offered to the University of Minnesota for research purposes.METHODS:
Using Visible Heart® methodologies, we reanimated the specimen en bloc and collected multimodal direct visualization from inside the cardiac chambers and great vessels of the functioning heart.RESULTS:
Video footage, using videoscopic and fluoroscopic imaging, was captured and is presented in this report as supporting material. Multiple still images highlight the surgical suture sites of the transplantation procedures.CONCLUSIONS:
This multimodal imaging offers unique educational value for medical students, clinicians, and medical device designers for improving transplantation techniques and patient outcomes.Palabras clave
