Canada performs first non-beating heart transplant, using donors after circulatory death to expand donor pool.
Canada has performed its first non-beating heart transplant at Toronto’s University Health Network, using a donor heart after circulatory death, a method that could expand the donor pool by up to 30%.
The procedure, known as donation after circulatory criteria, involves retrieving the heart within one hour of death and preserving it with a machine before transplant.
The recipient is recovering well.
With over 175 people on the national heart transplant waitlist and 13 deaths in 2024, the breakthrough offers potential to reduce wait times.
UHN plans 10 to 15 more such transplants in the coming year.
