Save a trip: Clinical outcomes of cardiac allografts recovered by local surgeons compared to recipient center surgeons.
Cardiac allografts recovered by a local surgeon team are high quality with similar rates of organ acceptance, PGD, and 30-day survival. This provides evidence that leveraging the expertise of the local surgical team is a safe and effective method for decreasing travel risks, financial expenditure, and opportunity cost associated with cardiac allograft recovery.
