Abstract

The procurement of organs from donors after circulatory death is a reliable technique which gives satisfactory posttransplant results and also represents a potential source of additional organs. In order to meet the growing need for organ donations, the 'anticipated organ donation approach' procedure is currently receiving renewed interest with new conditions for its implementation in France.

Keywords: anticipated organ donation approach; circulatory death donor; donneur décédé après arrêt circulatoire; démarche anticipée; organ procurement; prélèvement d’organes; transplantation.
