  Lung transplant donation following circulatory death
  Author(s): Simon Bottery*
  
  Lung transplantation (LTx) has been seriously hampered by the lack of donor organs. One of the many donor pools used to address the issue of a lack of Donation after Brain Death (DBD) donors is Donation after Circulatory Death (DCD) donors. Given that LTx from DCD donors has outcomes comparable to LTx from DBD donors, the active use of DCD donors is anticipated to considerably lower mortality on the waiting list for LTx. It is necessary to conduct more research on initiatives to reduce the warm ischemia time and employ uncontrolled DCD... Read More»
