This journal focuses on the assessment and management of artificial organs and organ transplantation, particularly for the heart and lungs. It covers techniques for evaluating donor organs, such as ex vivo lung perfusion and ex vivo heart perfusion, and the use of mechanical circulatory support devices like left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The journal also addresses complications related to transplantation and support devices, including deep vein thrombosis, graft dysfunction, and device-related issues like aortic insufficiency and atrial fibrillation. Research into regenerative medicine and the optimization of perfusion strategies for critical organ support is also featured.
