Cardiology Expert Webinar Series Organ Donation/Transplant Radiology

In response to the number of insightful questions submitted during the live webinar, CompuMed hosted a dedicated follow-up Q&A session with Dr. Lima.

Click to jump to question:

Is time for this testing same as for regular CTA? Is CTA for PTE acceptable to use for coronary calcification grading?
What limitations would there be in the donor for CTA? Heart Rate, Blood Pressure, body habitual, dye restrictions?
Taking a deeper dive on the data and patient outcomes, were the deaths high-risk recipients going into transplant?
Is there something special we need to request/state in the actual order when ordering a non-contrast chest CT?
We have to work through the allocation scheme and talking repeatedly to a 3rd party that is following an algorithm is a real issue. I hope this is presented at ISHLT or in a way that there is agreement with your colleagues and cardiologists.
When entering these orders for a donor or requesting these orders from a physician in the ICU caring for these donors, can you please provide the specific/verbatim order we should be entering or asking for?
Would you take a 45 year DCD with decades of lupus and tobacco use with COPS but no coronary calcification on baseline CT. Unable to perform CT coronaries or anography?
Please share the data and algorithm so we can attach it with our offers.
Positive and negative predictive value of CT
What have you seen in decline rates when only a cardiac CT is offered? Are centers declining for no cath still?
How many heart centers use this technique?
Please address physicians refusing CT Cors on DCD patients because of meds needed to get heart rate down and scan.
Does the heart rate have to be below a certain number for this to take place?
How would an OPO improve the information to provide a surgeon without a CT?
