A multicenter analysis of lung transplantation outcomes comparing donation after circulatory death and donation after brain death [PDF]
Background: Donor organ shortage is a barrier to lung transplantation. Donation after circulatory death (DCD) may offer a solution, although it is underutilized. The objective of this study was to compare survival and other postoperative outcomes between

Donation after brain death followed by circulatory death, a novel donation pattern, confers comparable renal allograft outcomes with donation after brain death [PDF]
Background Organ donation after brain death (DBD) is the standard strategy for organ transplantation; however, the concept of brain death is not universally accepted due to cultural beliefs and barriers amongst billions of people worldwide.

Donation after circulatory death with thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion recovery has similar outcomes with donation after brain death for lung transplantation [PDF]
Introduction: Donation after circulatory death (DCD) with thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion (TA-NRP) has been increasingly used to procure cardiac allografts; however, concerns persist regarding its impact on lung allografts.

A ten-year retrospective analysis of decompressive craniectomy or craniotomy after severe brain injury and its implications for donation after brain death [PDF]
Craniotomy or decompressive craniectomy are among the therapeutic options to prevent or treat secondary damage after severe brain injury. The choice of procedure depends, among other things, on the type and severity of the initial injury.
