Recent studies raised the concern that warm ischemia during completion of vascular anastomoses in kidney implantation harms the transplant, but its precise impact on outcome and its interaction with other risk factors remain to be established. We investigated the relationship between anastomosis time and graft survival at 5 years after transplantation in 13 964 recipients of deceased donor solitary kidney transplants in the Eurotransplant region. Anastomosis time was independently associated with graft loss after adjusting for other risk factors (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.10 for every 10-min increase, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.06-1.14; p < 0.0001), whereas it did not influence recipient survival (HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.97-1.02). Kidneys from donation after circulatory death (DCD) were less tolerant of prolonged anastomosis time than kidneys from donation after brain death (p = 0.02 for interaction). The additive effect of anastomosis time with donor warm ischemia time (WIT) explains this observation because DCD status was no longer associated with graft survival when adjusted for this summed WIT, and there was no interaction between DCD status and summed WIT. Time to create the vascular anastomoses in kidney transplantation is associated with inferior transplant outcome, especially in recipients of DCD kidneys.
