Donor Heart Storage

  • Chapter
Heart Transplantation

Abstract

The development of successful methods of myocardial protection during open heart operations has been one of the major advances in cardiac surgery in recent years1. At present, cardioplegic arrest followed by simple storage in icecold saline provides good protection of the myocardium against ischaemic damage for up to 3–4 hours2. This allows for transport of a donor heart from one hospital to another over distances of up to approximately 1500 km (940 miles), but necessitates highly organized and expensive forms of com­munication and transportation between these centres3.
