Abstract
Our review found that HBV D+/R- heart transplantation was associated with fewer active hepatitis infections and lower hepatitis-related mortality than D-/R+ transplantation, with comparable survival at 1 y. Additional studies utilizing HBV nucleic acid testing (NAT) to compare outcomes with HBsAg+ and anti-HBc+ donors are crucial to reach more definitive conclusions about the risk of donor-derived infections in this context.
