Clamping of the Aortic Arch Vessels During Normothermic Regional Perfusion After Circulatory Death Prevents the Return of Brain Activity in a Porcine Model

Conclusions. Reperfusion of the brain during NRP led to a return of brain activity. Conversely, clamping of the arch vessels halted cerebral circulation, ensuring the permanent cessation of brain function and maintaining the determination of death in DCD.
