Donor: 75 min down time, plus CPR. LVH. An immediate turn down for most US centers. Used @transmedics #OCS. Cardiac index 3.5. Extubated 6 hours post op. Hard to argue with @DukeHeartCenter @DukeCTSurgery experience with warm perfusion.

This is the moment a teenager hears her brother's heart beating - inside a stranger 💔 Liam Andrews was only 17 when he died from a brain haemorrhage. His heart was passed on to a man in desperate need - and the two families have just met for the first time. @WHBTG @NHSBT
