With an increasingly aging population, both end-stage renal disease and peripheral artery disease become more prevalent. Peripheral artery disease is increasingly treated with endovascular procedures. Endovascular stenting of the external iliac artery is often considered a contraindication for kidney transplantation, as clamping of the artery could result in possible injury to the stent.

- In the Netherlands, organ donation after euthanasia (DCD-V) has increased since 2012, but the outcomes of kidney transplants from DCD-V donors haven't been fully explored.
- A study aimed to compare the outcomes of DCD-V kidney transplants with those from DCD-III and brain-dead (DBD) donors, analyzing data from 2012 to 2023.
- Results showed that DCD-V kidney transplants had a significantly lower incidence of delayed graft function compared to DCD-III, suggesting DCD-V may be a viable option to expand the kidney donor pool.
Background: Little is known about the influence of the duration of the kidney back-table preparation period and kidney temperature on graft outcomes after transplantation. The aim of this study is to investigate the back-table duration and its relation to graft outcome and the relation between kidney temperature and graft outcome.
Methods: In this prospective cohort study, deceased donor kidney temperature is measured at fixed time points using an infrared thermometer during back-table preparation and transplantation.
Background: Robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) has emerged as an alternative for kidney transplant recipients with the potential benefits of minimally invasive surgery. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to compare the clinical outcomes of RAKT with open kidney transplantation (OKT).
Methods: MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane databases were systematically searched.
Additional Normothermic Machine Perfusion Versus Hypothermic Machine Perfusion in Suboptimal Donor Kidney Transplantation: Protocol of a Randomized, Controlled, Open-Label Trial.

Introduction: Ageing of the general population has led to an increase in the use of suboptimal kidneys from expanded criteria donation after brain death (ECD-DBD) and donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors. However, these kidneys have inferior graft outcomes and lower rates of immediate function. Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) may improve outcomes of these suboptimal donor kidneys.
