J. Reinier F. Narvaez, Jing Nie, Katia Noyes, Liise K. Kayler – 22 November 2019 – Premortem heparin administration during donation after circulatory death (DCD) organ recovery is thought to optimize liver perfusion. However, premortem heparinization is not universally practiced in the United States and limited data exist regarding its utility. US registry data were accessed between January 1, 2003, and March 10, 2017, and 2 cohorts were ascertained: (1) DCD donor livers recovered for transplantation (n = 5495) and (2) liver‐only adult transplant recipients of DCD livers (n = 3754).
