A team of researchers have spent the past eight years looking at better ways to transport organs for donation, specifically hearts, to improve the number of organs that can be used for transplants. They found that using a modified normothermic perfusion system heart preservation was feasible for up to 24 hours.

As the number of heart transplants performed across the United States continues to grow, surgeons at the U-M Health are taking advantage of technology that could increase its transplant yield by as much as 30%. Transplant surgeons in Ann Arbor completed the health system’s first heart transplant using an organ from a donor who had recently died — a process called donation after circulatory death, or DCD.
