Background. The critical shortage of transplantable organs necessitates utilization of unconventional donors. We describe a successful experience of controlled non-heart-beating donor (NHBD) liver transplantation.Methods. Controlled NHBDs had catastrophic head injury, prognosis for no meaningful recovery, decision to withdraw life support, and subsequent consent for donation. After stopping mechanical ventilation in the operating room, death determination by a nontransplant caregiver, and rapid aortic cannulation, liver and kidneys were recovered.Results. Controlled NHBDs contributed 5% of hepatic allografts (8/164) from August 1996 through June 1999 (9% in 1998), Sixteen NHBDs afforded 8 livers and 24 kidneys. Liver donors (n=8) were 11-66 years old; half were >50 years old. Premortem alanine aminotransferase was 25-157 Un. Arrest occurred 3-27 min after stopping ventilation. Perfusion started 3-5 min after incision, and
