Abstract
Normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) has potential to increase the number and quality of transplanted organs. Most reports showing advantages of NRP have been from transplant centers, but not all centers perform NRP. These advantages could be broadened if organ procurement organizations (OPOs) also performed NRP. We report donation and transplantation outcomes of our first 90 OPO-based NRP non-thoracic donors, divided into 3 eras (n=30 each). Comparisons were made with DCD-direct procurement (DP; n=270) and donation after brain death (DBD; n=729) donors. NRP donor median age was 53 years, compared to DP (48 years, p=0.004) and DBD (44 years, p<0.001) donors. NRP liver utilization (69%, 18 accepting centers) was superior to DP (17%, p<0.001) and not significantly different from DBD utilization (79%, p=0.27) on multivariate analysis. By era, NRP liver utilization progressively increased: 53%, 70%, 83% (p=0.04). NRP kidney use rate (71%) was higher than in DP (60%, p=0.02) and not significantly different from DBD (76%, p=0.15), especially among older donors. NRP kidney DGF incidence (29%) was lower than in DP (47%, p=0.001) and not significantly different from DBD (32%, p=0.53) donors. OPO-based NRP can provide more livers and kidneys to multiple transplant centers and improve outcomes from non-thoracic organ donors.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Transplantation is a leading journal in the field of transplantation. It serves as a forum for debate and reassessment, an agent of change, and a major platform for promoting understanding, improving results, and advancing science. Published monthly, it provides an essential resource for researchers and clinicians worldwide.
The journal publishes original articles, case reports, invited reviews, letters to the editor, critical reviews, news features, consensus documents, and guidelines over 12 issues a year. It covers all major subject areas in transplantation, including thoracic (heart, lung), abdominal (kidney, liver, pancreas, islets), tissue and stem cell transplantation, organ and tissue donation and preservation, tissue injury, repair, inflammation, and aging, histocompatibility, drugs and pharmacology, graft survival, and prevention of graft dysfunction and failure. It also explores ethical and social issues in the field.
