In recent years, there has been resurgence in donation after circulatory death (DCD). Despite that, the number of organs transplanted from these donors remains low due to concerns about their function and a lack of an objective assessment at the time of donation. This overview examines the current DCD practices and the classification modifications to accommodate regional perspectives.

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.

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).
