Currently, nearly half of all donation after circulatory determination of death do not proceed to donation. LD-PPW has been proposed as an alternative procedure targeted at increasing the quality and quantity of transplantable organs while respecting the donor's right to donate, though its implementation has been hindered by concerns over public and provider perception.
