Ischaemia-reperfusion injury in liver transplantation--from bench to bedside.

TL;DR: The latest mechanistic insights into innate–adaptive immune crosstalk and cell activation cascades that lead to inflammation-mediated injury in livers stressed by ischaemia–reperfusion are highlighted, progress in large animal experiments is discussed and efforts to minimize liver IRI in patients who have received a liver transplant are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Liver Transplantation After Ex Vivo Normothermic Machine Preservation: A Phase 1 (First-in-Man) Clinical Trial

TL;DR: This first report of liver transplantation using NMP‐preserved livers demonstrates the safety and feasibility of using this technology from retrieval to transplantation, including transportation, and may be valuable in increasing the number of donor livers and improving the function of transplantable organs.
Journal ArticleDOI

The promise of organ and tissue preservation to transform medicine

TL;DR: Developments indicate that a new paradigm, integrating multiple existing preservation approaches and new technologies that have flourished in the past 10 years, could transform preservation research.
Journal ArticleDOI

HOPE for human liver grafts obtained from donors after cardiac death.

TL;DR: This is the first report on cold machine perfusion of human liver grafts obtained after cardiac arrest and subsequent transplantation and application of HOPE appears well tolerated, easy-to-use, and protective against early and later injuries.

Risk factors for primary dysfunction after liver transplantation--a multivariate analysis.

TL;DR: Routine donor liver biopsies are recommended to decrease the rate of IPF and PNF, and the combination of risk factors shown to be significant for PDF should be avoided--and the only variable that can be controlled, the preservation time, should be kept as short as possible.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early allograft dysfunction after liver transplantation: a definition and predictors of outcome. National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases Liver Transplantation Database.

TL;DR: Recipients who develop EAD have longer ICU and hospital stays and greater mortality than those without and a logistic regression model combining donor, graft, and recipient factors predicted EAD better than models examining these factors in isolation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Liver and kidney preservation by perfusion

TL;DR: There is good evidence that preservation times will be extended by the provision of continuous cellular substrate, and use of non-heart-beating donors, international organ sharing, and precise calculation of the risk of primary organ failure could become standard.
