Australian outcomes from heart transplantation in the machine perfusion era Open
Machine perfusion strategies represent important additions to the modern transplant unit and can expand the donor pool. Results are encouraging with no differences in 2-year survival or incidence of sPGD across the preservation modalities:…

Comparing left ventricular assist device inflow cannula angle between median sternotomy and thoracotomy using 3D reconstructions Open
Background Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation via thoracotomy has many potential advantages compared to conventional sternotomy, including improved inflow cannula (IFC) positioning. We compared the difference in IFC angles,…

Reversibility of Frailty After Bridge-to-Transplant Ventricular Assist Device Implantation or Heart Transplantation Open
Background We recently reported that frailty is independently predictive of increased mortality in patients with advanced heart failure referred for heart transplantation (HTx). The aim of this study was to assess the impact of frailty on …

The pressure fl ow relationship of the internal mammary artery after offpump anastomosis to the left anterior descending coronary artery Open
Objective: To assess the pressure flow relationship of the internal mammary artery (IMA) in situ, after skeletonisation and after anastomosis to the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery, using either halothane, sevoflurane or pro…
