Transplant Outcomes of DCD Kidneys Recovered with vs. without Pre-Recovery Heparin Administration
Division of Transplantation, University at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY
*Purpose: DCD kidney transplants are associated with higher rates of delayed graft function (DGF) and primary non-function (PNF) likely due to ischemic events during recovery.…2019 American Transplant Congress
External Validation of the DCD-N Score and a Linear Prediction Model to Identify Potential Candidates for Donation after Circulatory Death: A Nation-Wide Cohort Study
*Purpose: Donation after circulatory death (DCD) is most often a controlled procedure after planned withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment (WLST) at an intensive care unit. In…2019 American Transplant Congress
Pushing the Limits: A Large Multicentric Case-Control Study Evaluating the Impact of Kidney Transplants from Expanded Criteria Donors after Controlled Circulatory Death the Limits: A Large Multicentric Case-Control Study Evaluating the Impact of Kidney Transplants from Expanded Criteria Donors after Controlled Circulatory Death
*Purpose: Controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD) has allowed to significantly increase the deceased donors pool. However, while excellent previous reports have been shown using…2019 American Transplant Congress
Expanding the Donor Pool with Extended Criteria DCD Livers
*Purpose: Utilization of extended criteria donation after circulatory death (ECD DCD) livers has remained cautious due to potentially worse outcomes because of higher rates of…2019 American Transplant Congress
The Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) Predicts the Risk of Graft Loss in Patients with a Kidney Transplant from Maastricht Type III Asystolic Donors
Nephrology, H.R.U Carlos Haya, Málaga, Spain
*Purpose: Recent years have seen an increase in the number of kidney transplants (KT) from Maastricht type III asystolic donors, resulting in the acceptance criteria…2019 American Transplant Congress
Wide Geographic Variability in the Proportion of Donors with Cardiac Death – Lost Opportunities for Organ Donation?
*Purpose: Donation after cardiac death (DCD) donors are largely not considered by organ procurement organization (OPO) metrics, as DCD donors are only counted in donor…2019 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Transplants Following Donation after Circulatory Death and Donation after Brain Death Have Similar Early Outcomes
*Purpose: Donation after circulatory death (DCD) is common in the US, comprising 18.3% of the deceased donor pool in 2017. Recipient outcomes following DCD kidney…2019 American Transplant Congress
Incidence of Autoresuscitation in Donation after Cardiac Death Donors
*Purpose: Donation after cardiac death (DCD) donors are subject to an observation period after asystole to monitor for cardiopulmonary autoresuscitation (AR). Periods vary between and…2019 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Delayed Graft Function on Allograft Survival in DCD versus DBD Kidneys
Surgery, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD
*Purpose: Several single-center studies have suggested no link between delayed graft function (DGF) and graft survival in recipients of donation after cardiac death (DCD) kidneys,…2019 American Transplant Congress
Pancreas Transplant Alone Using Donation After Cardiac Death Donors Has Similar Outcomes As Donation After Brain Death Donors
*Purpose: While outcomes of pancreas transplants are improving, there is a persistent hesitancy to use pancreas organs procured in the context of donation after cardiac…
