In 2018, Canadian Blood Services partnered with Trillium Gift of Life Network to organize a two-day forum to develop expert guidance for the implementation of heart donation and transplantation after circulatory determination of death in Canada.
The objectives of this forum were to review current evidence and international experience, comparatively evaluate international protocols with existing Canadian medical, legal and ethical practices and perspectives, and to discuss barriers and challenges of implementing direct procurement and perfusion and/or normothermic regional perfusion heart donation and transplantation in Canada.
