Where this comes from

Abstract

Donation after circulatory death is emerging as an alternative pathway to donation after brain death to expand the cardiac organ donor pool. We describe the surgical technique and circuit configuration for in-situ organ reperfusion with thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion using portable venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
