Utilization of a Pediatric <scp>DCD</scp> Liver Following Normothermic Regional Perfusion: A Case Report on the Youngest Donor in the United States
This case demonstrates that NRP can be applied effectively in small pediatric donors, yielding excellent early graft function. Our experience adds to the emerging literature on pediatric NRP. We conclude that broader adoption of NRP could help increase the donor pool and ease the strain on the pediatric waiting list.
