| Core Tip |
Organ procurement injuries during multi-organ recovery are considered rare, but they can result in irreversible loss of otherwise transplantable organs and may be underreported in national registries. We describe an unusual case in which a liver core needle biopsy performed during abdominal procurement caused transdiaphragmatic puncture injury to the donor heart, leading to intraoperative heart decline at the donor hospital. This case highlights a preventable mechanism of donor heart loss and emphasizes the importance of coordination, timing, and protective strategies among procurement teams to avoid avoidable organ injury. |
