Out of all transplant-able organs, hearts deteriorate the quickest without a blood supply. This means that time between harvesting the organ and it being stitched into the recipient needs to be as small as possible, in order to guarantee the best chance of success. Often, this means that the time the organ can stay in transit is very minimal, so the organ does not always get to the person most in need of it - instead it goes to the person within easiest geographical reach.
