Impact of simultaneous heart procurement on outcomes of donation after circulatory death lung transplantation

Abstract
Donation after circulatory death (DCD) heart procurement is done using either direct procurement (DP) or thoracoabdominal normothermic machine perfusion (TA-NRP). Both approaches could impact lung transplant outcomes with combined heart and lung procurements from the same donor. The impact of such practice on DCD lung transplant remains unstudied. We performed a retrospective analysis using the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) dataset, identifying DCD lung transplants where the donor also donated the heart (cardia lung donor [CD]). A cohort of noncardiac DCD lung donors (noncardiac lung donor [NCD]) from the same era, matched for donor and recipient characteristics, was used as a comparison group. Both immediate and long-term outcomes were examined. A subanalysis was performed comparing the distinct impact of DP or TA-NRP on DCD lung transplant outcomes. Overall graft survival did not significantly differ between CD and NCD. However, recipients in the CD group trended toward a lower P/F ratio at 72 hours (CD vs NCD: 284 vs 3190; P = .054). In the subanalysis, we identified 40 DP donors and 22 TA-NRP donors. We found the both cohorts had lower P/F ratio at 72 hours than the NCD control (P = .04). Overall, 1-year graft survival was equivalent among the TA-NRP, DP, and NCD cohorts.
