Background And Aims: Fulminant myocarditis (FM) is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by acute myocardial inflammation and cardiogenic shock. Evidence on long-term outcomes, mortality risk factors, and targeted treatment options remains limited.
Methods: This retrospective analysis included consecutive adult patients admitted for FM between January 2012 and November 2022 at 26 European tertiary centres.

Objective: Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) has resulted in a significant increase in the use of extended-criteria donor lungs without negatively impacting survival outcomes. However, in-house EVLP is resource-intensive, thereby limiting accessibility. Remote, centralized EVLP (rc-EVLP) has been used with acceptable outcomes in a highly protocolized feasibility study, although has not been assessed in a clinical setting.

Objectives: Severe obesity is an established risk factor for adverse cardiovascular events and heart transplantation (HT) outcomes in adults. However, the effect of severe obesity on children after HT is not well studied. We aimed to examine the prevalence and effect of severe obesity on pediatric HT.

Objective: Patients with heterotaxy-associated congenital heart disease often require multiple operations, which may have a cumulative effect on their outcomes. This study aimed to define the cardiac surgical course in a large cohort and identify longitudinal risk factors for death/transplant.
Methods: All patients with heterotaxy-associated congenital heart disease who underwent cardiac surgery at one institution from 2005 to 2022 were retrospectively reviewed.

Background: Patients with end-stage heart failure and chronic kidney disease requiring dual-organ transplantation (DOT) face significant challenges in utilizing durable mechanical circulatory support due to the risks associated with renal replacement therapies (RRTs) and multi-organ failure. Given the limited options available for long-term support in this patient population, there remains a critical need for alternative strategies to optimize end-organ function and bridge patients safely to transplant. With prolonged waitlist times for DOT, we present our experience with the Impella 5.
