Background We sought to analyze the influence of lung donor type (brain death [BD] vs
controlled donation after cardiac death [DCD]) on lung graft viability and to compare short …

Background Lung transplantation remains the only treatment for end-stage lung disease.
Availability of suitable lungs does not parallel this growing trend. Centers using donation …

Uncontrolled donation after cardiac death is an appealing source of organs for lung
transplantation. We compare early and long‐term outcomes of lung transplantation with …

OBJECTIVE: We sought to examine long-term outcomes at the University of Wisconsin for all
lung transplant recipients who received lungs from donation after cardiac death donors …

OBJECTIVES Donor organ shortage remains to be the major limitation in lung
transplantation, and donation after circulatory death (DCD) might represent one way to …

Donation after cardiac death (DCD) donors are still subject of studies. In this prospective
cohort trial, we compared outcomes after lung transplantation (LT) of subjects receiving …

Purpose: Utilization of donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors has the potential to
decrease donor shortage in lung transplantation (LTx). This study reviews the long-term …

The number of patients actively awaiting lung transplantation (LTx) is more than the number
of suitable donor lungs. The percentage of lung retrieval rate is lower when compared to …

Background Donation after cardiac death (DCD) to overcome the donor organ shortage is
well accepted in the clinical setting, although long-term outcome after DCD lung …

Purpose The growing demand for suitable lungs for transplantation (LTx) drives the quest for
alternative strategies to expand the donor pool. Although with limited experience, donation …
