using an isolated working rat heart model to test donor heart preservation strategies

The success of a heart transplant can be greatly influenced by the preservation method used for the donor heart. Donor hearts are subjected to ischemic insults throughout the organ retrieval, transport, and transplantation process. The degree of ischemic damage to the donor organ can be mitigated by selecting an appropriate donor heart preservation strategy. Cold static storage (CSS) remains the most feasible and common method for donor heart preservation; however, CSS may not necessarily be the best option for all heart donation pathways. For example, hearts procured via the donation after circulatory death (DCD) pathway are maintained and assessed for viability using normothermic machine perfusion, whereas hearts procured via the donation after brain death (DBD) pathway can be preserved using CSS or hypothermic machine perfusion. Another important determinant for the preservation strategy used is the amount of either warm ischemia (for DCD) or cold ischemia (for DBD) the heart is subjected to during organ procurement and transportation.
Many centers use additional pharmacological supplementation of the heart preservation solution to increase ischemic tolerance and improve post-transplant heart function. Rodent studies from our laboratory showed that supplementation of cardioplegia with erythropoietin and glyceryl trinitrate was able to significantly improve cardiac functional recovery after prolonged cold storage of the donor heart1,2. These studies then progressed to porcine studies of donor heart preservation and provided the pre-clinical groundwork that led to the incorporation of erythropoietin and glyceryl trinitrate into the cardioplegia solution of hearts procured via a DCD pathway utilizing normothermic machine perfusion3,4,5. Currently, supplementation with erythropoietin and glyceryl trinitrate is also used in Australian transplant units for clinical DBD heart retrievals incorporating CSS. The overall goal of the isolated working rat heart (IWRH) perfusion protocol outlined below is to test donor heart preservation strategies in a laboratory setting and test their efficacy for preserving donor heart function after reperfusion. The isolated working rat heart protocol described has been used for over two decades within our laboratory and has proven extremely useful in screening for potential supplements and/or strategies that can improve donor heart preservation2,7,8,9.

Serie: Autor im Rampenlicht: Verbesserung der Erhaltung des Spenderherzens durch isolierte Studien zur Herzperfusion von Ratten

Optimization of donor heart preservation solutions has played a key role in reducing ischemia-reperfusion injury in donor hearts during organ retrieval, transportation, and transplantation. Previous work from our laboratory showed that the addition of glyceryl trinitrate and erythropoietin to donor heart preservation solutions could significantly improve cardiac functional recovery after prolonged cold storage and in donation after circulatory death hearts. This supplementation protocol has been implemented in clinical use in transplant units around Australia, Belgium, and the United Kingdom. Here, we outline a protocol for testing supplementation strategies using an ex vivo isolated working rat heart (IWRH) perfusion circuit. Using this methodology, supplementation strategies can be tested in the context of prolonged cold static storage, donation after brain death, and donation after circulatory death donor heart preservation. Cardiac functional recovery, measured by aortic flow, coronary flow, cardiac output, pulse pressure, and heart rate, can be used to determine whether a particular preservation strategy can minimize ischemia-reperfusion injury of the donor heart.

We describe an ex vivo isolated working rat heart protocol to test donor heart preservation strategies. This paper describes the protocol for use in static cold storage of rodent donor hearts; however, the protocol can also be used for donor hearts obtained after donation after circulatory death and brain death.
