Cytokine Adsorption During Ex Vivo Blood Perfusion Improves Contractility of Donation After Circulatory Death Hearts

Background Donation after circulatory death (DCD) hearts have to withstand ischemia/reperfusion injury that is partially driven by proinflammatory cytokines and decreases ventricular contractility. We hypothesize that cytokine adsorption during normothermic ex vivo blood perfusion of DCD hearts redu...
