Longterm results of liver transplantation from donation after circulatory death

Abstract: Donation after circulatory death (DCD) liver transplantation (LT) may imply a risk for decreased graft survival, caused by posttransplantation complications such as primary nonfunction or ischemic-type biliary lesions. However, similar survival rates for DCD and donation after brain death (DBD) LT have been reported. The objective of this study is to determine the longterm outcome of DCD LT in the Eurotransplant region corrected for the Eurotransplant donor risk index (ET-DRI). Transplants performed in Belgium… Show more

“…One‐year graft and patient survival rates in the matched controls were 67 and 85 per cent respectively. Although patient survival in the control group was affected mainly by deaths that were not related to graft function or biliary complications, survival rates are consistent with those in recent publications.…”

“…The patient survival rate of pediatric DCD livers in the current study was in line with that of adult DCD liver grafts (78% versus 80–92% at 1 year respectively) [25,12,2426]. However, the graft survival rate of pediatric DCD livers in the present study was 65% at 1 year and was lower than in the pediatric DBD livers in this study (82%).…”

“…Donation after circulatory death (DCD) allografts have been used to mitigate organ shortage and death on the waiting list . However, DCD liver allografts have been considered increased‐risk organs because of posttransplant complications and slightly worse outcomes compared with organs from brain‐dead donors . Many transplant centers have been selective in the evaluation of DCD donors in order to improve their outcomes.…”
