Enhancing Donated After Cardiac Death (DCD) Utilization With Thrombolytic Therapy

NCT01197573

RandomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelPrevention

Summary

We hypothesize that delayed graft function and ITBS events may be related to small blood clots (microthrombi) that collect in the kidneys and liver after cardiac death. Treatment of the DCD organs with a thrombolytic agent prior to implantation may reduce post-transplant morbidity and mortality, and may ultimately result in a greater number of transplantable livers and kidneys.
