Attitudes and barriers to the use of donation after cardiac death livers: Comparison of a United States transplant center survey to the United Network for Organ Sharing data

We read with great interest the article wherein Sher et al. assess the nationwide practice in donation after circulatory death (DCD) liver transplantation in the United States. This manuscript beautifully shows the current practice in DCD liver transplantation in the United States. On the basis of the UK experience, we would like to transmit our enthusiasm using marginal DCD grafts, and we support the authors’ suggestions regarding the restrictions in recipient MELD score and duration of cold storage to further expand the donor pool.
