Abstract
/2.3% vs. DCD 64.1 /3.1%, p 0.61). Extension of the circulatory arrest time to 30 minutes still allowed for resuscitation and transplantation of the heart. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the DCD heart can support the circulation after transplantation. Function was comparable to the transplanted BSD heart. Contrary to previous concerns over impairment of RV function in the DCD heart, load-independent assessment of RV function revealed good contractility before and after transplantation. Utilization of DCD hearts for human cardiac transplantation may allow for expansion of the donor pool.
