Primary graft dysfunction in donor after brain death vs normothermic regional perfusion heart transplants
After adjustment for demographics and clinical characteristics, NRP was associated with higher risk of PGD vs DBD. While index hospitalization resource utilization was increased for PGD patients, midterm outcomes were not different. Further studies are warranted to understand characteristics of NRP that may be associated with increased PGD risk and the clinical significance of PGD post-NRP.
