Abstract
Donation after circulatory death (DCD) arguably represents the greatest potential way to provide organs for transplantation. The vast majority of people die of causes that do not lead to brain death (98% [1]) and thus DCD could meet the needs of organ transplantation based upon the actual numbers of potential donors alone. Furthermore, DCD liver transplantation has played a unique role in the genesis of solid organ transplantation and paved the way for early pioneers of the speciality. © 2014 Elsevier Inc.
