Great presentation from Gina Piscitello #ATS2024 2/3 of US hospitals allow clinicians to withdraw or withhold life sustaining treatment when it’s *not* strictly futile Almost no hospitals collect data on the practice or assess disparities 🔗 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38184166/

In an American Transplant Congress #ATC session on regulation and quality assurance and HRSA has ironically pulled 2 presentations from the program Is censoring leading scientific research and open discussion of regulatory metrics “modernizing the organ transplant system”?

🚑 New Study Alert! Heart transplant survival at 1 year shows no difference between normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) and direct procurement (DPP). 🫀 Can this increase organ access without compromising outcomes? #HeartTx #NRP #DCD William F Parker, MD, PhD 🔗 jhltonline.org/article/S1053-…

Our new work led by Julia (Gege) Ran w/ outstanding mentorship by William F Parker, MD, PhD Jordan Hoffman Kiran Khush from SRTR on post-OHT survival from DCD donors using ex-VIVO perfusion (DPP) vs. normothermic regional perfusion With propensity-score matching, no difference in 1-yr survival
