We read with interest Magliocca’s editorial regarding our recent publication on the perioperative management of liver recipients of uncontrolled or unexpected donation after circulatory determination of death (uDCD) (1,2). One comment in particular, that “the ethical and legal environment of transplantation in Spain preclude[s] the use of [controlled donation after circulatory determination of death (cDCD)] transplants as an option,” drew our attention.
