Abstract

In recent years, there has been a shift in the donor demographics with an increase in donation after circulatory death (DCD). Livers obtained from DCD donors are known to have poorer outcomes when compared to donors after brainstem death and currently only a small proportion of DCD livers are used. This review outlines the recent technological developments in liver DCD donation, including clinical studies using normothermic regional perfusion and extracorporal machine perfusion of livers from DCD donors.
