Abdominal normothermic regional perfusion (aNRP) is an in situ normothermic oxygenated donor perfusion technique before procurement during controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD) procedures and allows for organ quality evaluation. There are few data on the effect of aNRP on pancreatic islet isolation and subsequent transplantation outcomes. We aim to evaluate the impact of aNRP on cDCD pancreatic islet isolation and transplantation. A retrospective analysis was performed on pancreatic islet isolation outcomes from aNRP, cDCD, and donation after brain death pancreases. Isolations were compared to previous donor age (60-75 years) matched isolations. Islet function was assessed by a dynamic glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Donor baseline characteristics did not differ among groups. Isolations from aNRP pancreases (471 739 islet equivalents [IEQ] [655 435-244 851]) yielded more islets compared to cDCD (218 750 IEQ [375 951-112 364], P <
.01) and to donation after brain death (206 522 IEQ [385 544-142 446], P = .03) pancreases. Dynamic glucose-stimulated insulin secretion tests in 7 aNRP islet preparations showed a mean stimulation index of 4.91, indicating good functionality. Bilirubin and alanine aminotransferase during aNRP correlated with islet yield (r
