We report a case of successful liver transplantation after controlled donor after cardiac death procurement from a donor who died of pulmonary failure. The donor was a 28-year-old woman with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, whose life support could not continue when her condition deteriorated rapidly while waiting for a suitable donor for lung transplantation. She was on noninvasive negative pressure ventilatory support before the donor organs were procured.
