Storage of the Donor Heart

  • Chapter

Abstract

The development of successful methods of myocardial protection during open heart operations has been one of the major advances in cardiac surgery. At present, cardioplegic arrest followed by simple storage in ice-cold saline provides good protection of the myocardium against ischemic damage for up to 4 hours, possibly a little longer. This allows for transport of a donor heart from one hospital to another over distances of up to approximately 2000 km (1250 miles), but necessitates highly organized and expensive forms of communication and transportation between these centers.
