Hepatitis B core antibody‐positive donors in cardiac transplantation: a single‐center experience. Issue 5 (25th August 2014) - Horan, J.L.
Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) core antibody (HBcAb)‐positive donors are increasingly utilized in solid organ transplantation. We report a single center's experience in cardiac transplantation with 18 HBcAb‐positive donors. Available follow‐up on recipients of cardiac allografts from HBcAb‐positive donors, including 2 donors with low‐level serum HBV DNA at the time of transplantation, demonstrated no documented donor‐derived HBV transmission.
