Abstract
- The shortage of donor lungs has become a serious obstacle to implementing lung transplantation (LTx). Donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors are among the several donor pools utilized to overcome the problem posed by the shortage of donation after brain death (DBD) donors. The active use of DCD donors is expected to significantly reduce mortality on the waiting list for LTx, as LTx from DCD donors has comparable outcomes to LTx from DBD donors. Further studies on efforts to shorten the warm ischemic time and use uncontrolled DCD are required.
