Successful Resuscitation of Porcine Hearts After 12 and 24 h of Static Cold Storage With Normothermic Ex Situ Perfusion.

NEHP has the potential to routinely resuscitate porcine hearts that have undergone SCS for up to 24 h, restoring them to viable function. By objectively assessing heart function before transplant, NEHP may enhance the success rate of transplants. If these resuscitated hearts can be successfully transplanted, it would support the effectiveness of NEHP in ensuring heart viability.
