Background
Recent studies suggest the transplantation of Hepatitis C (HCV) hearts from viremic donors is associated with comparable 1 year survival to nonviremic donors. Though HCV viremia is a known risk factor for accelerated atherosclerosis, data on cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) outcomes are limited. We compared the incidence of CAV in heart transplant recipients from HCV viremic donors...

Thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion (TA‐NRP) following cardiac death is an emerging multivisceral organ procurement technique. Recent national studies on outcomes of presumptive TA‐NRP‐procured organs are limited by potential misclassification since TA‐NRP is not differentiated from donation after cardiac death (DCD) in registry data.
Methods
We studied 22 donors whose...
