Abstract
Purpose of review: To provide an update regarding the state of thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion (taNRP) when used for thoracic organ recovery.
Recent findings: taNRP is growing in its utilization for thoracic organ recovery from donation after circulatory death donors, partly because of its cost effectiveness. taNRP has been shown to yield cardiac allograft recipient outcomes similar to those of brain-dead donors. Regarding the use of taNRP to recover donor lungs, United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) analysis shows that taNRP recovered lungs are noninferior, and taNRP has been used to consistently recover excellent lungs at high volume centers. Despite its growth, ethical debate regarding taNRP continues, though clinical data now supports the notion that there is no meaningful brain perfusion after clamping the aortic arch vessels.
Summary: taNRP is an excellent method for recovering both heart and lungs from donation after circulatory death donors and yields satisfactory recipient outcomes in a cost-effective manner. taNRP is now endorsed by the American Society of Transplant Surgeons, though ethical debate continues.
