Short- and long-term effects of brain death on post-transplant graft function in a rodent model
Heart transplantation has become the most effective treatment for end-stage heart failure. Donors after brain death (BD) are currently the only reliable source for cardiac transplants. However, haemodynamic instability and cardiac dysfunction have been demonstrated in brain-dead donors and this coul...

| Zusammenfassung: | Heart transplantation has become the most effective treatment for end-stage heart failure. Donors after brain death (BD) are currently the only reliable source for cardiac transplants. However, haemodynamic instability and cardiac dysfunction have been demonstrated in brain-dead donors and this could therefore also affect post-transplant graft function. We studied the effects of BD on cardiac function and its short-term (1 h) or long-term (5 h) impacts on graft function. |
