Role of donor hemodynamic trajectory in determining graft survival in liver transplantation from donation after circulatory death donors
Daniel J. Firl, Koji Hashimoto, Colin O'Rourke, Teresa Diago‐Uso, Masato Fujiki, Federico N. Aucejo, Cristiano Quintini, Dympna M. Kelly, Charles M. Miller, John J. Fung, Bijan Eghtesad – 6 September 2016 – Donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors show heterogeneous hemodynamic trajectories following withdrawal of life support. Impact of hemodynamics in DCD liver transplant is unclear, and objective measures of graft viability would ease transplant surgeon decision making and inform safe expansion of the donor organ pool.
