As DCD continues to evolve globally, transplant programs are rapidly moving from concept to execution, raising new clinical, technical, and operational questions. Building on insights from the international experience, Part II of the DCD in Action series turns the focus inward to examine how NRP is being implemented, adapted, and refined within the United States. This US Roundtable discussion brings together clinical and operational experts to move beyond “how it started” and into what matters most now: standardization, decision-making, and technical performance. Join us as we unpack common challenges, highlight best practices, and share practical lessons that can be applied across transplant and OPO teams.
