High donor sequence number (DSN) donor hearts are often regarded as low quality, despite studies suggesting otherwise, and thus declined. There is a paucity of literature on high DSN transplant outcomes in the pediatric population, especially after the 2016 allocation policy changes. We evaluate the impact of the DSN on outcomes in pediatric heart transplant patients in the contemporary era.
