Highlights
Research published in JAMA indicates that Rapid recovery with extended ultraoxygenated preservation (REUP) is a viable method for Donation after Circulatory Death (DCD) heart transplants without the need for normothermic regional perfusion or ex-situ machine reanimation.
The study reported a 96% 30-day survival rate among 24 recipients, even with donor ages exceeding 40 years and total ischemic times reaching up to 8 hours.
