Abstract
Background & Aim
Cardiac arrest (CA) in deceased organ donors can potentially be associated with ischemic organ injury, resulting in allograft dysfunction after liver transplantation (LT). The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of cardiac arrest in liver donors.
Methods
We evaluated 884 consecutive adult patients undergoing LT at our Institution from 09/2003-12/2011. Uni and multivariable analyses was performed to identify predictive factors of outcome and survival for organs from donors with (CA donor) and without (no CA donor) a history of cardiac arrest.
Results
We identified 77 (8.7%) CA donors. Median resuscitation time was 16.5 (1-150) minutes. Allografts from CA donors had prolonged CIT (p=0.016), were obtained from younger individuals (p<0.001), and had higher terminal pre-procurement AST and ALT (p<0.001) than those of no CA donors. 3-month, 1-year, and 5-year survival for recipients of CA donor grafts was 79%, 76% and 57% and 72.1%, 65.1%, and 53% for no CA donor grafts (log rank p=0.435). Peak AST after LT was significantly lower in CA donor organs than in no CA donor ones (886U/l vs 1321U/l; p=0.031). Multivariable analysis identified CIT as a risk factor for both patient and graft survival in CA donors.
Conclusion
This analysis represents the largest cohort of liver donors with a history of cardiac arrest. Reasonable selection of these donors constitutes a safe approach to the expansion of the donor pool. Rapid allocation and implantation with diminution of CIT may further improve the outcomes of livers from CA donors.
