Paving the Road for the Adoption of Normothermic Regional Perfusion in Canada

Here, we propose a research agenda that will allow this technology to be introduced within current Canadian organ donation frameworks.

The Susceptibility of the Aortic Root: Porcine Aortic Rupture Testing Under Cardiopulmonary Bypass

This unique porcine model shows that the aortic root is most susceptible to failure at high continuous aortic pressures, supported histologically by different changes in collagen content and subtypes in the aortic root. With further analysis, this information could guide management of the aortic root in disease.
