National Outcomes of Donation After Cardiac Death (DCD) Liver Transplantation Are Equivalent to Donation After Brain Death (DBD) Liver Transplantation Using Older (DBD) Donor Livers
R. Redfield, M. Rizzari, J. Scalea, L. Fernandez, A. D'Alessandro, J. Mezrich, D. Foley.
University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI.
Background: Multiple studies have demonstrated that outcomes of DCD liver transplantation (LTx) are inferior to DBD LTx. Thus DCD liver transplantation represents only 7% of…
