Background: Uncertainties persist regarding the utilization of hearts from SARS-CoV-2-positive donors for heart transplant (HT). This international study analyzed such HTs within the United States (US) and Germany, focusing on 1-year outcomes and granular safety data.
Methods: Data was obtained from the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) registry (03/2021-08/2022) and collaborating with the German Organ Procurement Organisation (DSO; 03/2022-02/2023).
Objectives: A systematic characterization of the long-term sequelae after the severest form of COVID-19 requiring ECMO-therapy is lacking. Here, we present 2-year follow-up data of COVID-19 ECMO survivors, and analyze the cardiopulmonary, neurocognitive, psychological, and functional status, plus health-related quality of life (HRQL).
Methods: From 04/2020 to 09/2021, 60 COVID patients were supported with ECMO.
Off versus on pump myocardial revascularization in patients with severe asymptomatic carotid stenosis.

Article Synopsis
- Coronary artery disease is a serious health issue, and the study looks at two different methods of heart surgery called CABG: off-pump and on-pump.
- The researchers found that patients who had the off-pump technique had a much lower chance of having a stroke during or after their surgery compared to those who had the on-pump technique.
- Overall, the study suggests that off-pump CABG is a safer choice for patients with severe carotid stenosis, while still helping them live a long time after the surgery.

Here, we assess survival and recovery 6 months after ECMO for COVID-19. From April 2020 to September 2021, n = 60 (60.
