Abstract
Cardiac transplantation has become a relatively common procedure, with its limiting factor being the lack of donor hearts. The donor pool can potentially be increased by reevaluating donor criteria and performing innovative procedures on the donor heart, such as coronary bypass and valve repair. We present a recent case of donor heart mitral valve commissurotomy with successful transplantation.Entities:
