Abstract:BackgroundSince the 2018 allocation system change in heart transplantation (HT), ischemic times have increased, which may be associated with peri‐operative and post‐operative complications. This study aimed to compare ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) in hearts preserved using ice‐cold storage (ICS) and the Paragonix SherpaPak TM Cardiac Transport System (CTS).MethodsFrom January 2021 to June 2022, consecutive endomyocardial biopsies from 90 HT recipients were analyzed by a cardiac pathologist in a single‐blin… Show more
