welcomes you to the new, improved website!This retrospective analysis of the UNOS registry investigated patients after the latest allocation revision and examined whether ex vivo heart perfusion (EVHP) mitigated ischemic penalties in adult donation-after-brain-death heart transplants with preservation times of six hours or more. Among 546 recipients who met the criteria (320 receiving EVHP and 226 undergoing static/hypothermic storage), EVHP was associated with superior one-year survival (92.5 percent vs 86.3 percent, p=0.029) and three-year survival (90.9 percent vs 79.6 percent, p
