We write to congratulate Dr. Suberviola and colleagues for their success transplanting lungs recovered from uncontrolled Donation after Circulatory Determination of Death donors (uDCDDs)(1). Although their institution is not in a densely populated area, they showed convincingly that uDCDDs can provide lungs that can be safely transplanted. Their excellent survival (only one death from sepsis with 7 survivors, mean follow-up 52 months), is very encouraging and may be due to their careful and rigorous selection criteria. Clearly, uDCDDs can safely add to the lung donor pool to increase the number of lung transplants. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
