“…From the published case series (Table 1), the incidence of grade 3 primary graft dysfunction after controlled DCD (NHBD) lung transplantation was about 13%, which was comparable to that in brain-dead donor lung transplantation. 44 In contrast, the incidence Fig. 1 Ex vivo lung evaluation setting at Okayama University of grade 3 primary graft dysfunction after uncontrolled DCD (NHBD) lung transplantation was 29%, and the 1-year mortality in this group was 31%.…”

“…44,45 The risk of severe primary graft dysfunction might be greater when utilizing lungs from DCDs (NHBDs) that have been potentially damaged by warm ischemia. From the published case series (Table 1), the incidence of grade 3 primary graft dysfunction after controlled DCD (NHBD) lung transplantation was about 13%, which was comparable to that in brain-dead donor lung transplantation.…”

Although lung transplantation is a well-accepted treatment for advanced lung diseases, donor shortage remains a significant limiting factor resulting in an increasing number of deaths of people on waiting lists. Recently, some transplant centers have begun to use lungs retrieved from donors after circulatory arrest. This review outlines the relevant published experimental data and clinical experiences with lung transplantation from donation after cardiac-death donors (DCDs) or non-heart-beating donors (NHBDs). Techniques for lung preservation and ex vivo lung assessment of DCD (NHBD) lungs are reviewed, and aspects of primary graft dysfunction after DCD (NHBD) lung transplantation are discussed.
