Abstract
Purpose of the review: The current lack of objective and quantitative assessment techniques to determine cardiac graft relative viability results in risk-averse decision-making, which negatively impact the utilization of cardiac grafts. The purpose of this review is to highlight the current deficiencies in cardiac allograft assessment before focusing on novel cardiac assessment techniques that exploit conventional and emerging imaging modalities, including ultrasound, magnetic resonance, and spectroscopy.
Recent findings: Extensive work is ongoing by the scientific community to identify improved objective metrics and tools for cardiac graft assessment, with the goal to safely increasing the number and proportion of hearts accepted for transplantation.
Summary: This review briefly discusses the in situ and ex vivo tools currently available for clinical organ assessment, before focusing on the individual capabilities of ultrasound, magnetic resonance, and spectroscopy to provide insightful, non-invasive information regarding cardiac graft functional and metabolic status that may be used to predict outcome after transplantation.
期刊介绍:
Under the guidance of Dr. Dorry Segev, from Johns Hopkins, Current Transplantation Reports will provide an in-depth review of topics covering kidney, liver, and pancreatic transplantation in addition to immunology and composite allografts.We accomplish this aim by inviting international authorities to contribute review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. By providing clear, insightful balanced contributions, the journal intends to serve those involved in the field of transplantation.
