Background: Donor lung procurement and preservation is critical for lung transplantation success. Unfortunately, the large variability in techniques impacts organ utilization rates and transplantation outcomes. Compounding this variation, recent developments in cold static preservation and new technological advances with machine perfusion have increased the complexity of the procedure.

Normothermic regional and ex-situ perfusion reduces Postreperfusion syndrome in donation after circulatory death liver transplantation: a retrospective comparative study.

Am J Transplant

The Roy Calne Transplant Unit, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust, Cambridge, UK; University of Cambridge Department of Surgery, Cambridge, UK; National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre, and the NIHR Blood and Transplant Research Unit (BTRU) at the University of Cambridge in collaboration with Newcastle University and in partnership with NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT), UK.

In controlled donation after circulatory death (DCD) liver transplantation, ischemia-reperfusion injury is linked to post-reperfusion syndrome (PRS), acute kidney injury (AKI), and early allograft dysfunction (EAD). Normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) and normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) are techniques that mitigate ischemic injury and associated complications. In this single centre retrospective study, we compared early transplant outcomes of DCD livers undergoing direct procurement (DP) and static cold storage (DCD-DP-SCS), NRP procurement with SCS (DCD-NRP-SCS), or DP with NMP (DCD-DP-NMP).

Background: The availability of in situ normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) or ex situ normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) has revolutionized donation after circulatory death (DCD) liver transplant (LT). While some have suggested that NRP and NMP may represent competing technologies for DCD LT, there are many scenarios where these technologies can function in a complementary manner.

Methods: Between January 2022 and March 2024, 83 DCD LTs were performed using NRP (62 NRP alone and 21 NRP + NMP) and were compared with 297 static cold storage (SCS) DCD LTs.

Dynamic Preservation of Donation After Circulatory Death Liver Grafts From Donors Aged 60 y and Older.

Laboratory of Abdominal Transplantation, Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Transplantation, KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium.

Background: Donor livers from older donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors are frequently discarded for transplantation because of the high risk of graft failure. It is unknown whether DCD livers from older donors benefit from dynamic preservation.

Methods: In a multicenter study, we retrospectively compared graft and patient outcomes after transplantation of livers from DCD donors older than 60 y, preserved with either static cold storage (SCS), ex situ sequential dual hypothermic perfusion, controlled oxygenated rewarming, and normothermic perfusion (DHOPE-COR-NMP), or in situ abdominal normothermic regional perfusion (aNRP).

Human organ transplantation has begun in the 1960s with donation after circulatory death. At that time this was named non heart beating donation, later donation after cardiac death and nowadays it is named donation after circulatory death. Currently, we are facing a significant shortage of transplant organs in Europe and worldwide.
