Postmortem normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) is a rising preservation strategy in controlled donation after circulatory determination of death (cDCD). Herein, we present results for cDCD liver transplants performed in Spain 2012–2019, with outcomes evaluated through December 31, 2020. Results were analyzed retrospectively and according to recovery technique (abdominal NRP [A‐NRP] or standard rapid recovery [SRR]). During the study period, 545 cDCD liver transplants were performed with A‐NRP and 258 with SRR. Median donor age was 59 years (interquartile range 49–67 years). Adjusted risk estimates were improved with A‐NRP for overall biliary complications (OR 0.300, 95% CI 0.197–0.459, p < .001), ischemic type biliary lesions (OR 0.112, 95% CI 0.042–0.299, p < .001), graft loss (HR 0.371, 95% CI 0.267–0.516, p < .001), and patient death (HR 0.540, 95% CI 0.373–0.781, p = .001). Cold ischemia time (HR 1.004, 95% CI 1.001–1.007, p = .021) and re‐transplantation indication (HR 9.552, 95% CI 3.519–25.930, p < .001) were significant independent predictors for graft loss among cDCD livers with A‐NRP. While use of A‐NRP helps overcome traditional limitations in cDCD liver transplantation, opportunity for improvement remains for cases with prolonged cold ischemia and/or technically complex recipients, indicating a potential role for complimentary ex situ perfusion preservation techniques.

This dataset is limited by the lack of a denominator as it remains unknown how many other patients with ACC presenting with IVC invasion did not undergo surgery. The relatively low perioperative mortality and the long disease-free survival achieved by some patients should encourage surgeons with adequate experience to offer surgical treatment to patients presenting with advanced adrenocortical cancers.

Death after thyroidectomy is very uncommon, and most often results from a combination of advanced age, giant goiters, and upper airway complications.

(18)F-FDG-PET/CT can play a role in the management of thyroid nodules larger than 2 cm cytologically reported as follicular neoplasm without oncocytic differentiation, allowing the avoidance of a significant number of thyroidectomies for definitive benign lesions.
