CTCA/CACS vs. Invasive Left Heart Catheterization - Evaluating the Brain-Dead Donor Heart for Transplant Suitability 

Webinar Information

Advances in cardiac imaging are changing how donor hearts are evaluated, offering new opportunities to improve decision-making and expand the donor pool. This webinar will examine the role of coronary CT angiography (CTA) and coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring in the assessment of coronary artery disease in brain-dead donor hearts, comparing these noninvasive tools with traditional invasive coronary angiography. Participants will learn practical strategies for optimizing CTA image quality and interpretation to support timely, confident organ acceptance decisions, while exploring how risk-stratified CT-based coronary screening may increase utilization of older and extended criteria donors, including donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors.
