Abstract
After advancement of technical aspects, use of well-established and novel immunosuppressive therapies, and better pre and postoperative care, which resulted in high overall survival rates with liver transplantation, waiting list mortality has become the main issue for pediatric patients with end stage liver disease. Insufficient organ donors have become a challenging issue especially in the pediatric patient population, for whom size match of donor or graft is harder to achieve. In order to expand the donor pool and decrease the gap between the demand and supply of donor organs, use of donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors have been proportionally increased. In this chapter we aim to discuss current practices, issues and outcomes with DCD in pediatric liver transplantation, as well as future strategies for improvement of results.
期刊介绍：
To provide to national and regional audiences experiences unique to them or confirming of broader concepts originating in large controlled trials. All aspects of organ, tissue and cell transplantation clinically and experimentally. Transplantation Reports will provide in-depth representation of emerging preclinical, impactful and clinical experiences. -Original basic or clinical science articles that represent initial limited experiences as preliminary reports. -Clinical trials of therapies previously well documented in large trials but now tested in limited, special, ethnic or clinically unique patient populations. -Case studies that confirm prior reports but have occurred in patients displaying unique clinical characteristics such as ethnicities or rarely associated co-morbidities. Transplantation Reports offers these benefits: -Fast and fair peer review -Rapid, article-based publication -Unrivalled visibility and exposure for your research -Immediate, free and permanent access to your paper on Science Direct -Immediately citable using the article DOI
