Description
Machinski and co-authors ask in 2026 whether a past heart operation worsens the odds for patients who later receive a heart from a donor whose circulation had stopped. The national registry held seven hundred eighty five such transplants from 2019 to 2024. Nearly three in ten recipients had prior standard heart surgery.
One year survival ran lower in that group, about ninety percent against ninety seven. A matched comparison kept the gap. Combined bypass and valve histories fared worst of all. Still, within that group, DCD and DBD recipients had comparable survival. The findings help teams counsel redo patients about added risk.
