national Greypower mAGAZINE » june 2016 49 Sydney surgeons revolutionise cardiac transplants with ‘heart in a box’ Surgeons from St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney have been refining a system known colloquially as the ‘heart in a box’ programme, to increase the number of donor hearts potentially available for transplantation. 50048 Buy – sell – swap rent – notify – Buy Grey Power Lifestyle Quarterly now accepts classifieds advertisements.

Phone 07 8477541 Grey power Classified ad Coupon St Vincent’s is the only unit in Australia using the TransMedics Organ Care System, which uses ex-vivo perfusion to keep the heart ‘alive’. This involves oxygenated warm blood and medications being pumped through the donor heart after removal from the human body. In some cases, hearts have been flown interstate between hospitals in the sterile box, with its blood pressure, pulse and vital signs monitored on a portable computer screen. Cardiothoracic surgeon Dr Emily Granger presented her research recently at the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons Annual Scientific Congress in Brisbane, and said 18 patients have now benefited from hearts retrieved using this technology. “We have been researching and refining this system for more than 15 years now, and what is different about it, is that it allows hearts to be transplanted from donors we previously would have rejected,” Dr Name: ......................................................................................................................................

Granger says. “We quickly transfer the deceased patient to the operating theatre, place the stopped donor Acute appendicitis possible indicator of colorectal cancer in older adults Older patients with appendicitis may have an increased risk of colorectal cancer, delegates to the Annual Scientific Congress (ASC) of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) were told recently. These findings arise from research conducted by Dr Rebecca Shine, a registrar of general surgery, alongside colleagues at the Bay of Plenty DHB. “With colorectal cancer, if it can be detected and treated early, then the outcome for the patient improves dramatically,” Dr Shine said. “Unfortunately, early detection can prove difficult as most patients only present when the colorectal cancer is at a more advanced stage.” New Zealand has among the highest rates of colorectal cancer in the Western world with approximately 2800 new cases every year, and between 1100 and 1200 deaths. For patients between 45 and 60 years of age with appendicitis, there is a seventeen fold increase in this risk. According to the research conducted by Dr Shine and her colleagues, the presence of acute appendicitis may be an indicator, which can help detect colorectal cancer at an earlier stage. “The findings of our research suggest that patients 45 years and over with appendicitis are more than six times as likely to have a colorectal carcinoma as those without. “For patients between 45 and 60 years of age with appendicitis, there is a seventeen fold increase in this risk.” “Acute appendicitis may therefore be an indicator that a patient has colorectal cancer, which potentially could result in detection earlier.” “Our recommendation is that all patients aged 45 years and above should be considered for a full colonic investigation following a diagnosis of appendicitis, regardless of histology or preoperative imaging.” The RACS Annual Scientific Conference was held Now we can minimise damage to the heart by keeping it warm and functioning on the Transmedics OCS. in May in Brisbane. The conference brought together the top surgical and medical minds from across New Zealand, Australia, and the rest of the world.

Hearts recover very quickly in the right conditions. “In the past we’ve literally had to whip retrieved donor hearts from one hospital to the next. It’s a race against the clock to preserve the cold donor heart stored in an esky full of ice. “Now we can minimise damage to the heart by keeping it warm and functioning on the Transmedics OCS. We can transport it from hospitals up to seven hours away. “There are around 80 heart transplants performed each year in Australia, and 25-30 of these are in NSW. The average wait time for a heart transplant is 150 days, so it’s a real breakthrough to pioneer a system that allows us to salvage and optimise donor hearts. Dr Granger believes these types of operations are a tribute to team work, communication and organisation in the operating theatre. “Everybody in the theatre has a critical role in the retrieval process, and so far results with the Transmedics OCS have been exceptional. It has increased our heart transplant rate by 20 percent. “The fact that we can travel to virtually any hospital in Australia and perform this operation successfully reflects upon the wonderful training and dedication of all staff involved. “There is nothing more amazing than sitting next to a beating heart in a box on an airplane, knowing that a surgical team and patient are getting ready to receive this wonderful gift.” DISCLAIMER: The information contained in this publication is published in good faith and has been derived from sources believed to be reliable and accurate.
