Abstract

A recent study reports the expansion of the donor pool by using kidneys from donors after cardiac death with prolonged agonal time. The duration of the agonal period and hemodynamic instability do not influence kidney transplantation outcome, indicating that this approach is feasible and may help meet the need for donor kidneys for transplantation.
