Heart transplant waitlist mortality remains high in infants Click to show full abstract

Heart transplant waitlist mortality remains high in infants <1 year of age and among those with CHD. Currently, the median accepted donor‐to‐recipient weight percentage is approximately 130% of the recipient's weight. We hypothesized that patients with CHD may accept a larger organ using novel 3D‐derived imaging data to estimate donor and recipient TCV.
