Organ Procurement and Donor Management for Liver Transplantation

Quick fact

A liver from a donor after brain death can be kept viable for only about 12 hours of cold ischemia time, whereas a liver from a donor after cardiac death may need to be transplanted within 6–8 hours because of warm ischemia damage.
