Liver Transplantation From Controlled Donors After Circulatory Death Using Normothermic Regional Perfusion: An Initial French Experience

Corinne Antoine, Carine Jasseron, Federica Dondero, Eric Savier, the French National Steering Committee of Donors After Circulatory Death – 12 June 2020 – A national program of controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD) began in France in 2014 involving the use of a standardized national protocol that involves the systematic use of normothermic regional perfusion (NRP). In this article, we describe in detail the French cDCD program. Between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2018, 225 livers were offered for donation, resulting in 123 cDCD liver transplantations (LTs).

Donation After Circulatory Death Is Associated With Similar Posttransplant Survival in All but the Highest‐Risk Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients

Jordyn Silverstein, Garrett Roll, Jennifer L. Dodge, Joshua D. Grab, Francis Y. Yao, Neil Mehta – 12 June 2020 – Liver transplantation (LT) recipients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) receive a higher proportion of livers from donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors compared with non‐HCC etiologies. Nevertheless, data on outcomes in patients with HCC receiving DCD grafts are limited. We evaluated the influence of DCD livers on post‐LT outcome among HCC patients.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 in Autoimmune Hepatitis: A Lesson From Immunosuppressed Patients

Alessio Gerussi, Cristina Rigamonti, Chiara Elia, Nora Cazzagon, Annarosa Floreani, Roberta Pozzi, Pietro Pozzoni, Ernesto Claar, Luisa Pasulo, Stefano Fagiuoli, Laura Cristoferi, Marco Carbone, Pietro Invernizzi – 9 June 2020 – Chronic immunosuppression is associated with increased and more severe viral infections. However, little is known about the association between immunosuppression and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infection.
