- Abstract
In the whole Eurotransplant area, the absolute number of donors with donation after circulatory death (DCD) used for heart transplantations has been increasing over the recent years, from I n i = 4 in 2019 to I n i = 25 in 2022 [[3]]. Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is known to be associated with donor brain stem death and donor heart dysfunction. However, those are still low in absolute numbers in comparison to all heart transplants in the same area ( I n i = 629 in 2022) [[4]], and in the recently published Canadian DONATE study [[5]] by D'Aragon et al., no heart transplantation at all was performed from donors with DCD.
