Abstract
Our main conclusion is that graft and patient survival are comparable either if the organs come from non-heart-beating-donors (NHBD) or heart beating donors (HBD) but complications were reported more frequently in NHBD than in HBD. Warm ischaemia time reduction and close selection of donors are keys to successful NHBD transplantation.
