Donation after circulatory death (DCD) is emerging as an alternative pathway to donation after brain death (DBD) to expand the cardiac organ donor pool.1 We describe the surgical technique and circuit configuration for in-situ organ reperfusion with thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion (TA-NRP) using portable venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO).
