Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is currently used for both standard and extended-criteria donor (ECD) lungs. To enlarge the donor pool, we might have to extend the threshold for ECD donation. The purpose of this study was to estimate how many additional ECD lungs could be recruited by EVLP. We reviewed all multi-organ donors (MODs) from our collaborative donor hospitals (January 2010–June 2015).

While public attitudes toward traditional organ/tissue donation are favorable, little is known about attitudes toward VCA donation and transplantation. A survey was conducted of 1485 U.S. residents in August 2016 to assess VCA donation attitudes.

The Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) became a driving factor in deceased donor kidney allocation on Dec. 4, 2014, with the implementation of the kidney allocation system (KAS). On April 20, 2016, the annual recalibration of the Kidney Donor Risk Index into KDPI was incorrectly programmed in DonorNet, resulting in erroneously high KDPI values, by between 1 and 21 percentage points (e.g. actual KDPI of 70 percent was displayed as 86 percent).
