ABSTRACT

The shortage of liver organ donor is the barrier to the development of liver transplantation.In the past recent years,the usefulness of the donation after cardiac death donor has increased significantly.So the donor after cardiac death may be the important way to expand the liver organ donor pool.The high incidence of the biliary complication,primary non function and the arterial thrombosis may the most important effectors on the survival outcome of the recipients accepted liver after cardiac death.Reducing warm ischemia time,extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and ex vivo hypothermic machine perfusion may be the ways to improve the life quality of the liver donor after cardiac death and the survival outcome of the recipients.
