Popis: The persistent imbalance between patients awaiting lifesaving liver transplantation and organ availability has forced transplant centers to explore options to expand the organ supply. One of these options is to use organs from donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors, which suffer however due to an inevitable period of warm ischemia before procurement, leading to higher rates of graft loss. Particularly irreversible cholangiopathy has been the most-feared complication in DCD liver transplantation, typically occurring within the first 6 months.
