      Olivella, Aleix; Almenar-Bonet, Luis; González-Vílchez, Francisco; Díez-López, Carles; Díaz-Molina, Beatriz; Blázquez-Bermejo, Zorba; Sobrino-Márquez, José Manuel; Gómez-Bueno, Manuel; Garrido-Bravo, Iris P.; Barge-Caballero, Eduardo; Farrero-Torres, Marta; García-Cosío, María Dolores; Blasco-Peiró, Teresa; Pomares-Varó, Antonia; Muñiz, Javier; González-Costello, José (Elsevier, 2023-03-15)
      [Abstract] Background. Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) still affects 2-28% of heart transplants (HT). Severe PGD requires mechanical circulatory support (MCS) and is the main cause of death early after HT. Earlier initiation ...
