Abstract: Combined heart-lung transplant (HTLx) is the most durable treatment available for end-stage heart and lung failure. Many patients are unable to receive combined organs due to organ availability and allocation policies prioritizing separate heart or lung transplantation. While an average of 45 HTLxs have been performed per year in the United States half the listed patients do not receive organs. Recently, donation after circulatory death (DCD) utilizing normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) has been utilized for heart allografts with excellent results, and here, we present a case utilizing mobile NRP to procure a heart and lung block from a circulatory death donor and successful implantation for a recipient in a separate center.<br />Competing Interests: Disclosure: The authors have no conflicts of interest to report.<br /> (Copyright © ASAIO 2023.)
