Extracorporeal life support and multiorgan donation in a severe polytrauma patient: A case report

Abstract: HighlightsExtracorporeal life support allowed organs retrieval and multiorgan transplantation.Extracorporeal life support was applied in a severe polytrauma patient.Extracorporeal support allowed brain death declaration in patient where a poor outcome had been anticipated.Extracorporeal life support was implemented despite ongoing bleeding.

“…However, as the goal of the study was to obtain bio-artificial liver tissue by employing decellularized human ECM liver scaffolds, the authors did not quantify the features of the scaffolds nor analyze interdonor differences and pooled data from three different human livers together. Moreover, although their results are of scientific relevance, the availability of healthy human liver unsuitable for transplant is destined to diminish thanks to new techniques for prolonging organ preservation after death, such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support (31)(32)(33). Therefore, methods that do not rely on the use of healthy human tissue are needed to overcome the shortage of donor organs.…”

Moreover, although their results are of scientific relevance, the availability of healthy human liver unsuitable for transplant is destined to diminish thanks to new techniques for prolonging organ preservation after death, such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support (Balsorano et al 2015;Carter et al 2014;Rojas-Peña et al 2014). Therefore, methods that do not rely on the use of healthy human tissue are needed to overcome the shortage of donor organs.…”

“…The procurement of hearts from such “extended criteria” donors will only help offset the demand and availability in the short term while long term strategies are developed and implemented. Recently other groups have reported the successful recovery of liver, kidneys and lungs from donors on ECMO support [5, 6]. …”
