💨 Abstract
Duke and Vanderbilt hospitals have developed new methods to enhance the use of hearts from "donation after circulatory death" (DCD) donors. These techniques could save more lives by increasing the pool of available hearts for transplants. Duke's process involves briefly assessing the heart in the operating room, while Vanderbilt infuses the heart with a nutrient-rich solution before removal. Both approaches promise to bridge some existing logistical and ethical obstacles in this field.
