Cover Story: Skidmore et al. discuss the challenges and potential solutions for treating congenital heart disease with valve dysfunction in babies. Partial heart transplantation involves transplanting only the valves of a donor heart into the recipient. This procedure offers the potential for growth and long-term success of the transplanted valves. The authors used rodent models to evaluate the efficacy of heterotopic partial heart transplants. They transplanted aortic heart valves into the abdominal aortic position and aortic valve leaflets into the renal subcapsular space in rodents. The ultimate goal is to demonstrate the success of this procedure in larger, more comparable models to humans, aiming to enhance outcomes and quality of life for patients with congenital valve dysfunction.
