A total of 18 patients were included. When comparing recipients of a living donor transplant to recipients of a deceased donor transplant, significant differences were noted for duration of ischemia time, and length of posttransplantation hospital stay. , CVA = cerebral vascular accident, SAB = subarachnoid bleeding, CA = cardiac arrest, OHCA = out of hospital cardiac arrest, AMI = acute myocardial infarction.
