The length of the warm ischemic interval in lung donation after circulatory death does not impact post-transplantation outcomes
This study suggests that current variations in withdrawal-to-flush and agonal-to-flush times are not associated with DCD lung transplant outcomes. The findings underscore the need for expanding strategies to increase the utilization and availability of DCD lungs.
