Maximizing the Gift: Post-organ Heart for Valves

Title: Maximizing the Gift: Post-organ Heart for Valves

Speakers: Bryan A. Whitson, MD, PhD and Steve Julian, MD, MBA, CTBS

This webinar is a collaborative effort between the ASTS and the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB). "The use of heart for valves can restore normal heart function by replacing damaged valves or fixing congenital defects. When the heart is not suitable for transplantation, donated heart for valves can be utilized in shared organ and tissue cases.

During this webinar, we will examine the standard applications and requirements for donated heart for valves. Additionally, we will discuss ways in which surgeons can preserve the potential for heart for valve donation during organ recovery."
