ABSTRACT
Standard US practice for donation after circulatory death (DCD) abdominal organ procurement is superrapid recovery (SRR). A newer approach using thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion (TA-NRP) shows promise for better recipient outcomes for all organs, but there are few reports of abdominal recipient outcomes from TA-NRP donors. We used the United Network for Organ Sharing data to identify all cardiac DCD donors from October 1, 2020, to May 20, 2022, and categorized them by recovery procedure (SRR vs TA-NRP). We then identified all liver, kidney, and pancreas recipients of these donors for whom 6-month outcome data were available and compared patient and graft survival, kidney delayed graft function (DGF), and biliary complications between TA-NRP DCD and SRR DCD organ recipients. Patient and graft survival did not differ significantly between groups for either kidney or liver recipients. Significantly fewer TA-NRP kidney recipients developed DGF (12.7% [15/118] vs 42.0% [84/200], P <.001), and TA-NRP and pumped kidneys had lower odds for DGF on multivariate analysis. No liver recipients in either group had biliary complications or were relisted for transplantation for ischemic cholangiopathy. Although long-term outcomes need to be investigated, our early results show similar outcomes for recipients of TA-NRP DCD abdominal organs versus recipients of SRR DCD abdominal organs. We believe that TA-NRP is an effective approach to expand the use of DCD organs.
