In this episode, Dr. Trahanas shares:
- What his team learned from the lung 10°C trials and how they adapted the devices for hearts
- The improved outcomes in PGD and survivability observed in the 10°C group
- How to determine if switching from ice to 10°C actually changed donor selection practices—and how it enabled the team to use more hearts
