Abstract
Introduction
Use of normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) to recover donation after circulatory death (DCD) organs demonstrates increased heart utilization with favorable outcomes. Conversely, DCD lung allograft use when NRP was employed remains controversial. This is a contemporary analysis of DCD lung recipient outcomes in which NRP was used.
Methods
Utilizing the STAR-OPTN database, all adult DCD lung recipients in the United States between January 1, 2020, and June 30, 2024 were identified. NRP use was defined if the time between donor death and aortic clamp time was greater than 30 min. Recipient outcomes, including 30-, 60-, and 90-day mortality, grade-3 primary graft dysfunction (PGD), and postoperative length of stay were compared using multivariable logistic regression controlling for donor and recipient covariates. Survival analysis was performed using Cox proportional hazard modeling.
Results
Of 987 DCD lung transplants, 92 (9.4%) utilized NRP. There were no differences in recipient characteristics between direct recovery and NRP cohorts. No difference in 30-, 60-, or 90-day mortality, grade-3 PGD, or length of stay was found between cohorts. 12-month survival was equivalent.
Conclusions
Outcomes between NRP lung recipients were equivalent to DCD direct recovery recipients. Thus, donor lungs may be considered for transplantation following NRP donation procedures.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research aims to serve as a channel of rapid communication for all those involved in the care of patients who require, or have had, organ or tissue transplants, including: kidney, intestine, liver, pancreas, islets, heart, heart valves, lung, bone marrow, cornea, skin, bone, and cartilage, viable or stored.
Published monthly, Clinical Transplantation’s scope is focused on the complete spectrum of present transplant therapies, as well as also those that are experimental or may become possible in future. Topics include:
Immunology and immunosuppression;
Patient preparation;
Social, ethical, and psychological issues;
Complications, short- and long-term results;
Artificial organs;
Donation and preservation of organ and tissue;
Translational studies;
Advances in tissue typing;
Updates on transplant pathology;.
Clinical and translational studies are particularly welcome, as well as focused reviews. Full-length papers and short communications are invited. Clinical reviews are encouraged, as well as seminal papers in basic science which might lead to immediate clinical application. Prominence is regularly given to the results of cooperative surveys conducted by the organ and tissue transplant registries.
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research is essential reading for clinicians and researchers in the diverse field of transplantation: surgeons; clinical immunologists; cryobiologists; hematologists; gastroenterologists; hepatologists; pulmonologists; nephrologists; cardiologists; and endocrinologists. It will also be of interest to sociologists, psychologists, research workers, and to all health professionals whose combined efforts will improve the prognosis of transplant recipients.
