Adults with congenital heart disease experience worse short- and mid-term graft survival following heart transplantation from DCD donors: The early US experience
In the early US experience, ACHD recipients of DCD hearts experienced significantly worse short- and mid-term graft survival than those receiving DBD hearts, despite comparable peri-operative morbidity. Until preservation strategies further mitigate warm-ischemic injury, careful candidate selection is warranted when allocating DCD grafts to complex ACHD patients.
