Patients with durable left ventricular assist devices or congenital heart surgery were excluded. Recipients were stratified by conventional cardiac surgical history prior to transplantation. The primary outcome was 1\u2010year posttransplant survival. Subgroup analyses investigated the impact of surgical subtype and donor type on 1\u2010year survival.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among 785 DCD recipients included, 233 (29.7%) underwent prior conventional cardiac surgery.

Combined coronary revascularization and valvular interventions conferred the lowest 1\u2010year survival rates among surgical subtypes (77.9%\u00a0vs. 96.8%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001).

Within this subgroup, adjusted analyses demonstrated no observed difference in early outcomes between DCD and DBD donors. These findings suggest DCD heart transplantation may be a viable strategy for organ donor pool expansion in this high\u2010risk population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Practitioner Points<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Growing transplant volume and waitlist demand underscore the importance of efficient, safe allograft allocation. Nearly one\u2010third of adults undergoing DCD heart transplant have undergone prior conventional cardiac surgery. Despite lower early survival among these recipients, outcomes are independent of donor type, suggesting that use of DCD donors in this population does not confer additional mortality risk and supporting the continued utilization of DCD donors in this high\u2010risk population.<\/jats:p>\n
