Abstract
Among NICU patients withdrawn from life support during a 5-year period, 4.3% would have been suitable heart donors after circulatory determination of death. Implementing a NICU DCDD program could markedly expand the donor pool and reduce short-term wait-list mortality for infant heart transplantation.
