Heart Transplant: A Chance to Live plot

British documentary about seven patients at Newcastle's Freeman Hospital waiting for a new heart. These seven individuals range from just eight months to 56 years old. Thanks to a new technique, ex vivo perfusion, organs can be recovered from much further away, which immediately broadens the donor group. Doctors also have much more time to assess an organ, which significantly reduces the risk of organ failure after transplantation.
