Beating heart technique for orthotopic heart transplantation after ex vivo heart perfusion: Clinical application and experience
Beating heart transplantation is a safe, feasible, and reproducible technique. Despite an unselected surgical cohort and our high use of extended criteria donors, we experienced a low incidence of PGD. The beating heart technique may facilitate the use of extended criteria donor hearts and increase the access to heart transplantation for complex surgical recipients.
