Résumé
A national program of controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD) began in France in 2014 involving the use of a standardized national protocol that involves the systematic use of normothermic regional perfusion (NRP). In this article, we describe in detail the French cDCD program. Between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2018, 225 livers were offered for donation, resulting in 123 cDCD liver transplantations (LTs). The overall 90-day graft survival rate was 93.1% (95% confidence interval [CI], 85.9%-96.6%). A total of 21 of 123 LTs (17%) did not adhere strictly to the national protocol. The 1-year graft survival was significantly lower in the group deviating from the national protocol compared with those patients following the national protocol: 68.4% (95% CI, 42.8%-84.4%) versus 94.8% (95% CI, 86.5%-98.0%; P < 0.01). There were 14 patients who died, including 2 after primary 2 after primary non function, and 10 related to liver cancer recurrence. Only 1 case of ischemic cholangiopathy was observed at month 18 in this series, and the patient underwent a successful retransplant. During the first 4 years, excellent LT results were observed where the national protocol was followed. Systematic use of NRP limits liver damage induced by warm ischemia and provides excellent cDCD organs for transplant.
