The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation podcast features editor Daniel Goldstein, MD, in round table talks with the JHLT's digital media editors.
Episode 59: Rewarming Ischemia Time in Lung Transplantation
On this episode of JHLT: The Podcast, the Digital Media Editors invite lead author Jan Van Slambrouck, MD, to discuss the paper, “The effect of rewarming ischemia on tissue transcriptome and metabolome signatures: A clinical observational study in lung transplantation.” Dr. Van Slambrouck is a general surgeon who’s just finished his PhD training at the KU Leuven lab of respiratory disease and thoracic surgery in Belgium. The episode explores: How rewarming ischemia time (RIT) affects donor lungs, especially on the molecular level The pace of rewarming and how prior literature prepared the team to track and evaluate it Clinical strategies to reduce RIT and directly address molecular changes For the latest studies from JHLT, visit www.jhltonline.org/current, or, if you’re an ISHLT member, access your Journal membership at www.ishlt.org/jhlt. Those involved in the pulmonary vascular disease space should tune in again later this month for a study on the safety and efficacy of riociguat in patients with PAH.

Episode 58: Sympathetic Reinnervation
Returning for a second study this month, the JHLT Digital Media Editors invite lead author Oliver J.F. Weiner, to discuss the paper, “Sympathetic reinnervation in cardiac transplant recipients: Prevalence, time course, and association with long-term survival.” Dr. Weiner is currently an out of training registrar at Monash Health in Melbourne, Australia, but will soon return to his home of the UK to begin internal medicine training with the intention becoming a cardiologist. He is especially interested in advanced heart failure and electrophysiology. The episode explores: The uncertainty around clinical influences on reinnervation The importance of this single-center study in expanding the literature Potential future treatment options For the latest studies from JHLT, visit www.jhltonline.org/current, or, if you’re an ISHLT member, access your Journal membership at www.ishlt.org/jhlt. Those on lung transplant teams should check the previous episode for a study on recent trends and post-transplant outcomes from EVLP. Don’t already get the Journal and want to read along?

Episode 57: Trends and Outcomes in EVLP
On this episode of JHLT: The Podcast, the Digital Media Editors invite lead author Jonathan E. Williams, MD, to discuss the paper, “Ex-Vivo Lung Perfusion: National Trends and Post-Transplant Outcomes.” Dr. Williams is a general surgery resident at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, with work focusing on contemporary lung preservation strategies, perfusion techniques, and particularly, EVLP. The episode explores: How the study explores the theory that EVLP use may increase transplant volumes Preserving data quality and other study limitations How to work in fields of study that sometimes yield as many questions as answers For the latest studies from JHLT, visit www.jhltonline.org/current, or, if you’re an ISHLT member, access your Journal membership at www.ishlt.org/jhlt. Those on heart transplant teams should tune in again later this month for a study on sympathetic reinnervation in cardiac transplant recipients. Don’t already get the Journal and want to read along?
