According to our 3-year experience, uncontrolled DCDs do represent an additional means of increasing the number of transplanted organs (kidneys and livers) with an acceptable utilization rate. Research on organ viability assessment (for both livers and kidneys from uDCDs) is still in its infancy, and there is probably space for a further wider use of organs from uDCDs.
