McCulloch wants his young patients to live, and many of them won’t without a new heart. He knows that almost 20% of all pediatric patients on the wait list for hearts in the United States die before they receive one. But the heart must be healthy and a good match for the patient or a transplant could make matters worse. How does he decide?
