Heart transplants using hearts donated after circulatory death (DCD) can yield “excellent” outcomes, Australian researchers report in a world-first study. 

The team from St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney carried out 23 DCD heart transplants  into 17 male and six female recipients from 45 DCD donors between 2014 and 2018.
