Article Abstract
Introduction: Kidney-delayed graft function (DGF) is more common in donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors in comparison to donatation after brain death (DBD). We analyzed deceased kidney transplant recipients (DDKTR) at our center between 2005 and 2019, stratified by donor type (DBD vs. DCD).
Methods: We assessed risk factors for DGF, acute rejection (AR), graft failure (GF), along with the death with functioning graft (DWFG), and the interaction between types of donors for those complications.
Results: Among 2543 DDKTRs, 804 (32%) were from DCD donors. Older donor age, higher recipient body mass index, and receipt of a depleting induction agent were associated with increased risk for DGF in both DBD and DCD. In contrast, preemptive transplant and female recipient gender were associated with reduced risk. Additional risk factors in DBD, but not in DCD recipients, included higher donor terminal serum creatinine, higher kidney donor profile index, right donor kidney, and prolonged cold ischemia time. Female donors were associated with a reduced risk of DGF only among DCD donors. DGF was associated with higher AR and GF, with no significant differences across donor types, DBD vs. DCD (AR: adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 2.22 vs. 2.37, p-interaction = 0.65; GF: 3.04 vs. 2.56; p-interaction = 0.47). DGF was associated with a higher risk for DWFG among DBD (aHR: 3.43, 95% CI: 1.96-6.00, p < 0.001) but not with DCD (aHR: 1.90, 95% CI: 0.78-4.61, p = 0.16), with p-interaction of 0.15 CONCLUSION: Despite higher DGF rates in DCD, early adverse outcomes after DGF were similar between deceased donor types and should not deter the utilization of DCD kidneys.

Pre-Donation Cardiac Arrest and Liver Transplantation Outcomes: Implications for Ischemic Preconditioning.
Clin Transplant
September 2025
Translational and Clinical Research Institute, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.
Background: Liver transplantation is the definitive treatment for end-stage liver disease and some cancers. The use of livers from donors following pre-donation cardiac arrest (PDCA), especially with prolonged downtime duration, has been limited outside of the US due to fears over inferior outcomes from ischemic injury. However, PDCA may induce ischemic preconditioning, paradoxically improving post-transplant outcomes.

Objective: Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) has resulted in a significant increase in the use of extended-criteria donor lungs without negatively impacting survival outcomes. However, in-house EVLP is resource-intensive, thereby limiting accessibility. Remote, centralized EVLP (rc-EVLP) has been used with acceptable outcomes in a highly protocolized feasibility study, although has not been assessed in a clinical setting.

Objective: Celsior solution (CS) is used for cold preservation of hearts from brain death donors but not for those from circulatory death donors (DCD). Plasma membrane repair proteins are crucial for maintaining myocardial integrity during ischemia. We compared the effects of CS cold preservation with normal saline (NS) on myocardial membrane disruption and pyroptosis in human DCD hearts, with varying warm ischemia times (WIT) and cold storage durations.

Objectives: To report the impact of ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) on lung transplantation practices and clinical outcomes. This study presents the largest single-centre EVLP experience to date, highlighting how EVLP has transformed clinical lung transplantation with expansion of donor access, program growth, and the safe use of extended criteria donor lungs.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 1,000 consecutive EVLP procedures performed between 2008 and 2024 at University Health Network's Toronto General Hospital.

Background: Delayed graft function (DGF) is a major complication in kidney transplants from donation after circulatory death (DCD). This study assessed the association between metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) results and the occurrence of DGF during the perioperative period in DCD kidney transplant recipients.
Methods: We analyzed 191 DCD kidney transplant recipients in this single-center retrospective cohort study.
