Pulsatile Normothermic Perfusion With Cardiopulmonary Bypass for Thoracic Organ Recovery in Donation After Uncontrolled Circulatory Death: A Feasible Strategy for Expanding the Donor Pool.
Pulsatile normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass enables successful procurement of thoracic organs from uncontrolled donors after circulatory death with excellent outcomes. This low-cost physiological approach may offer a viable strategy to expand availability of donors in resource-limited settings.
