Abstract

For donation after circulatory death, procurement is performed after the heart has arrested. This technique has been employed and adopted by clinicians to overcome the shortage of available hearts for transplant. Warm ischemia time plays a pivotal role in the survival outcome of the heart recipients. We describe a fast and safe technique to flush the heart during recovery from circulatory death donors in order to shorten the warm ischemia time.
