Influence of Donor Transfusion on Heart Transplantation Outcomes: A United Network for Organ Sharing Registry Analysis
Massive transfusion in donors was not associated with increased recipient mortality. Additionally, the amount of donor blood transfusion did not affect rejection rates following HT. The present study suggests that a history of donor blood transfusion, as well as the amount of transfusion, should not preclude donor heart utilization.
