Abstract

Examination of cardiac explants is a challenge to the surgical pathologist. This is due to the complex anatomy of the heart, the numerous pathologies unique to the heart, and the complexities of cardiovascular interventions including the transplant procedure itself. The dissection technique described permits complete evaluation of the heart with good photographic and histologic documentation while maintaining the integrity of the specimen.
