International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation Donation After Circulatory Death Registry Report.
The objective of this study was to review the international experience in lung transplantation using lung donation after circulatory death (DCD). ⋯ This large study of international, multi-center experience demonstrates excellent survival after lung transplantation using DCD donors. It should be further evaluated whether the mechanism of donor death influences survival after DCD transplant.
