Liver transplantation from a non-heart-beating donor after pulmonary failure: Report of a case
Surgery Today, 10/06/09

Faraj W et al. – The authors report a case of successful liver transplantation after controlled donor after cardiac death procurement from a donor who died of pulmonary failure. The donor was a 28–year–old woman with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, whose life support could not continue when her condition deteriorated rapidly while waiting for a suitable donor for lung transplantation. She was on noninvasive negative pressure ventilatory support before the donor organs were procured.
