Organ Transplantation Techniques and Outcomes

Evidence suggests prolonged donor mechanical ventilation does not impair recipient lung function after transplant, challenging traditional donor selection practices in lung transplantation.

High circulating tumor necrosis factor α in deceased organ donors associates with inferior kidney graft function and survival after transplantation through TNFR1-mediated injury mechanisms.

Viewpoint on standardizing organ procurement practices, particularly normothermic regional perfusion, for donation after circulatory death transplantation.
