Organ recovery from deceased donors with prior COVID-19: A case series

Nikole A. Neidlinger et al.

Summary: Although limited data exist regarding organ donation from deceased donors with a history of COVID-19 infection, a case series of six deceased donors with a prior history of COVID-19 showed no transmission of SARS-CoV-2 to recipients or medical personnel. This suggests that organ donation from deceased donors who have recovered from COVID-19 should be considered, pending further research.

Liver transplantation performed in a SARS-CoV-2 positive hospitalized recipient using a SARS-CoV-2 infected donor

Tommaso Maria Manzia et al.

Summary: This case report describes the first successful liver transplantation using a liver procured from a SARS-CoV-2 positive donor, with the recipient clearing the infection and recovering normal liver function after the surgery. The findings suggest that the prompt use of SARS-CoV-2 infected liver donors could offer a life-saving opportunity for SARS-CoV-2 positive patients who have developed neutralizing antibodies.

Donor to recipient transmission of SARS-CoV-2 by lung transplantation despite negative donor upper respiratory tract testing

Daniel R. Kaul et al.

Summary: This case report highlights a proven transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from a lung donor to recipient, with sequence analysis confirming the donor origin of infection in both the recipient and a healthcare worker. It emphasizes the importance of testing lower respiratory tract specimens from potential lung donors and enhancing personal protective equipment for healthcare workers involved in lung procurement and transplantation.

Evidence of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Cells, Tissues, and Organs and the Risk of Transmission Through Transplantation

Amaury Gaussen et al.

Summary: The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 raised concerns for transplantation programs due to the potential risk of transmission through donated organs. Initial consensus excluded COVID-19 positive patients from donation, leading to a global decrease in transplantation procedures. Studies on the transmission risk through transplantation have produced inconsistent findings, highlighting the need for standardized screening practices and systematic recipient follow-up.

Summary: This study reported a successful intentional transplant of lungs from a donor with previous COVID-19 infection to a recipient suffering from COVID-19 induced ARDS and pulmonary fibrosis. Tissue analysis confirmed the donated lungs were negative for SARS-CoV-2 and revealed markers of COVID-19 associated lung fibrosis in the recipient's lung tissues.

SOT Consensus Statement for the Kidney Transplant Recipient and Living Donor with a Previous Diagnosis of COVID-19

Vivek B. Kute et al.

Summary: COVID-19 has higher mortality rates in dialysis patients and organ transplant recipients than the general population in India. As kidney transplant programs resume in India, new challenges arise regarding the safety of performing transplantation in recipients with a recent recovery from COVID-19. Limited evidence-based information is available about the safety and feasibility of kidney transplantation from living donors who have recovered from COVID-19.
