Beating heart transplantation: A single center’s initial experience and propensity-matched analysis against national registry data
Despite BHT recipients being sicker than standard DCD recipients pre-transplant, their matched survival at 30-days was similar and graft survival was improved at 1-year post-transplant. While BHT may confer excellent early post-transplant outcomes, a larger sample size and longer-term follow-up are needed to confirm the survival benefit associated with BHT.
