| Research Abstract |
BACKGROUND : An increasing lack of brain-dead donor and growing population of patients in need of cardiac transplantation has promoted clinicians to reevaluate the potential use of cardiac allograft from non-heart-beating donors (NHBDs). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the viability of NHBD hearts.
METHODS : Asphyxiated canine/porcine model was used. We have investigated 1) determinant optimal duration of controlled initial reperfusion with blood cardioplegia to minimize ischemia-reperfusion injury, 2) evaluate the cardioprotective effect of free radical scavenger.
RESULTS : 1) The best recovery was observed in the NHBD hearts resuscitated by continuous myocardial perfusion when the initial controlled reperfusion with lukewarm blood cardioplegic solution at 40 mmHg lasted for 20 minutes. 2) Free radical scavenger, MCI-186, reduced free radical production and subsequently improved recovery of cardiac function approximately 80% by minimizing ischemia-reperfusion injury.
CONCLUSION : Our resuscitation technique, controlled initial reperfusion followed by continuous myocardial perfusion combined with administration of free radical scavenger, carries 80% of functional recovery of NHBD hearts in early postoperative period.
