Transplantation of organs donated after euthanasia may help alleviate the critical organ shortage. However, aside from preliminary data on lung transplantation, data on graft and patient survival following transplantation of organs donated after euthanasia are unavailable. Because donation after euthanasia entails a period of detrimental warm ischemia that hampers graft survival, similar to donation after circulatory death, results after transplantation of this type of graft need to be carefully evaluated.
