Decision modeling in donation after circulatory death liver transplantation
Kenneth A. McLean, Julian Camilleri‐Brennan, Stephen R. Knight, Thomas M. Drake, Riinu Ots, Catherine A. Shaw, Stephen J. Wigmore, Ewen M. Harrison – 27 December 2016 – Donation after circulatory death (DCD) liver allografts are increasingly used for transplantation.

Decision making for such marginal organs can be difficult.
