Impact of Ex Vivo Machine Perfusion on Post-Transplant Survival in Extended Criteria Hearts Donated After Brain Death

Purpose: Ex vivo machine perfusion has been employed to extend the heart preservation period. While prior research has primarily centered on its effects on donation after circulatory death, this study examines the influence of machine perfusion on outcomes following donation after brain death (DBD) heart transplantation.
