Donor heart selection: the outcome of "unacceptable" donors [PDF]
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2007 The decline in the number of suitable donor hearts has led to an increasing interest in the use of previously unacceptable donors. In the United Kingdom, if one centre declines a donor heart on medical grounds it may be offered to other centres. This multi-centre study aimed to evaluate the outcome of recipients of donor hearts considered medically ...
