Title
Heart and Lung Transplants from HCV-Infected Donors to Uninfected Recipients
Abstract
HCV-Positive Organ Donors In patients without hepatitis C virus infection who received a heart or lung from HCV-infected donors, 4 weeks of antiviral treatment initiated after surgery rendered all 35 recipients who had completed 6 months of follow-up free of HCV infection despite early signs of infection in 96% of the recipients within hours after surgery.
