Optimal utilization of extended hepatic grafts
Surgery Today, 09/30/09

Burroughs SG et al. – ECD grafts provide an opportunity for addressing the shortage. Although there is no universally accepted definition of ECD, the term generally refers to donor factors predisposing recipients to poor initial graft function and/or increased long–term risk. These factors include advanced donor age, hypernatremia, prolonged warm ischemic time, pressor requirement, and donation after cardiac death. The transplant community is scrutinizing all factors to evaluate the degree of risk they impart on the recipient and the extent to which grafts can be “matched”; to maintain acceptable outcomes.
