JHLT: The Podcast

Episode 63: Severe PGD Using DCD Hearts


Listen Later

On this episode of JHLT: The Podcast, the Digital Media Editors invite first author Peter Cho and senior author Abbas Ardehali, MD, to discuss the paper, “Severe primary graft dysfunction in heart transplant recipients using donor hearts after circulatory death: a United States Experience.”

Peter is a third year medical student at Drexel University, and Dr. Ardehali is professor of surgery and medicine and the Director of the Heart, Lung, and Heart-Lung Transplant programs at UCLA.

The episode explores:

  • The study's findings regarding an increased incidence of severe PGD at 24 hours post-transplant in DCD over DBD recipients
  • What risks weren't changed in DCD recipients—suggesting that DCD PGD is likely to be transient, and may have a different phenotype
  • How NRP may impact the outcomes
  • Mitigating the risk of PGD
