Normothermic ex vivo Heart Perfusion Combined With Melatonin Enhances Myocardial Protection in Rat Donation After Circulatory Death Hearts via Inhibiting NLRP3 Inflammasome-Mediated Pyroptosis

ObjectiveThe adoption of hearts from donation after circulatory death (DCD) is a promising approach for the shortage of suitable organs in heart transplantation. However, DCD hearts suffer from serious ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI). Recent studies demonstrate that nucleotide-binding oligomerizat...
