Onset of Donor Warm Ischemia Time in Donation After Circulatory Death Liver Transplantation: Hypotension or Hypoxia?

Marit Kalisvaart, Jubi E. Haan, Wojciech G. Polak, Jan N. M. IJzermans, Diederik Gommers, Herold J. Metselaar, Jeroen Jonge – 24 August 2018 – The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of hypoxia and hypotension during the agonal phase of donor warm ischemia time (DWIT) on hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) and complications in donation after circulatory death (DCD) liver transplantation. A retrospective single‐center study of 93 DCD liver transplants (Maastricht type III) was performed.
