Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Organ donation after cardiac death has been used for kidney and liver procurement in France since 2006. Until recently, most teams relied on in situ cold perfusion to prepare the donor before organ retrieval. Our team has used since 2007 normothermic abdominal recirculation. While this technique is presumed to be more difficult to implement, it also ensures a lower rate of primary nonfunction when compared to in situ cold perfusion. We present the efficiency results of our organ donation after cardiac death program. After 3 years, we have been able to establish a program in which we use normothermic abdominal recirculation in 97% of donors after cardiac death. The yearly efficiency of this program is comparable to the national efficiency of organ procurement from conventional deceased donors in France.
