title: Experience of the transplant unit from Virgen de las Nieves Hospital in using liver grafts from asystolic donors.
abstract: Given the shortage of donors, it has become increasingly necessary to use alternative sources to meet the growing demand for organs, and evolution in the use of asystolic donors is proving to be an important resource in helping to meet those needs. The goal of this study is to describe the initial results of our experience with Type II asystolic donation. An observational retrospective study was conducted to analyze the variables of four cases in this type of donation. After the analysis we conclude that, despite the limited number of cases in our series, the results are compatible with larger series and permit us to continue to value this method as a resource for broadening the donor pool.
