Abstract

BACKGROUND: This study evaluates the impact of functional warm ischemia time (FWIT) on outcomes following isolated donation after circulatory death (DCD) heart transplantation using direct procurement and perfusion (DPP). METHODS: The United Network for Organ Sharing registry was queried for adult recipients of isolated DCD heart transplants performed using DPP from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2023. Recipients were stratified by donor FWIT:
