Heart transplantation from donors after circulatory death (DCD) has demonstrated increased primary graft dysfunction. Durable mechanical circulatory (MCS) recipients have slightly higher perioperative risk but excellent long‐term survival. We sought to determine if the use of DCD donors i...
A DCD (Donation after Circulatory Death) heart transplant is a procedure that uses donor hearts from individuals who have sustained irreversible brain injury but have not been declared brain-dead. Instead, they are declared dead based on a determination of irreversible cardiac arrest.Typically, DCD ...
Donation after circulatory death (DCD) describes the retrieval of organs for the purposes of transplantation that follows death confirmed using circulatory criteria. The persisting shortfall in the availability of organs for transplantation has prompted many countries to re-introduce DCD schemes not only ...
Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) of liver allografts has emerged to increase the number of transplantable organs and may have utility during donation after circulatory death (DCD) liver transplantation in reducing transfusion burden and vasoactive medication requirements.#This is a single-center ...
The utilization of donation after circulatory death (DCD) livers has been growing over the last decade. In large-volume centers, survival outcomes have improved and are comparable to outcomes with brain death donor (DBD) liver transplantation (LT). The relatively concentrated success with DCD LT ...
1 Donation after circulatory death (DCD) describes the retrieval of organs for the purposes of transplantation that follows death confirmed using circulatory criteria, and contrasts in many important respects within the modern-day standard model for deceased donation, namely donation after the ...
Donation after circulatory death (DCD) is a relatively new topic in pediatric ethics. This chapter explores the ethical dimensions of controlled DCD, first examining the distinction between donation following brain death and donation following controlled circulatory death. While uncontrolled donation ...
donation after circulatory determination of death (DCDD) would be expected to improve the availability of organs substantially for both adults and children. With DCDD, however, hearts to be transplanted undergo a period of warm ischaemia before procurement, which is of particular concern because tiss...

Compared to donation after brain death (DBD), livers procured for transplantation from donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors experience more ischemia‐reperfusion injury and higher rates of ischemic cholangiopathy due to the period of warm ischemic time (WIT) following withdrawal of life﹕up...
