Clinical Implications of Donor Warm and Cold Ischemia Time in Donor After Circulatory Death Liver Transplantation

Flavio Paterno, James V. Guarrera, Koffi Wima, Tayyab Diwan, Madison C. Cuffy, Nadeem Anwar, E. Steve Woodle, Shimul Shah – 26 March 2019 – The use of donation after circulatory death (DCD) liver allografts has been constrained by limitations in the duration of donor warm ischemia time (DWIT), donor agonal time (DAT), and cold ischemia time (CIT). The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of longer DWIT, DAT, and CIT on graft survival and other outcomes in DCD liver transplants.
