Utrecht – The waiting list for a donor heart has been stabilized by a new technique for heart donation, reports the Dutch Transplantation Foundation (NTS). Two years ago, the heart of a deceased person was transplanted using this technique for the first time in the Netherlands. Sixty heart transplants have already been performed in this way, thanks in part to close cooperation between UMC Utrecht, UMC Groningen and Erasmus MC, according to the foundation.
