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

TLDR
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.

Liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma: outcomes and novel surgical approaches

TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of the outcomes after liver transplantation for HCC, focusing on tumour recurrence in terms of surveillance, prevention and treatment is provided.

Transplantation of Declined Liver Allografts Following Normothermic Ex-Situ Evaluation

TL;DR: Viability assessment of high‐risk grafts using NMP‐L provides specific information on liver function and can permit their transplantation while minimizing the recipient risk of primary graft nonfunction, which may increase organ availability for LT.

Observations on the ex situ perfusion of livers for transplantation.

TL;DR: Evaluation of bile pH may offer a valuable insight into bile duct integrity and risk of posttransplant ischemic cholangiopathy, as well as a combination of transaminase release, glucose metabolism, lactate clearance, and maintenance of acid‐base balance.

Outcomes of DCD liver transplantation using organs treated by hypothermic oxygenated perfusion before implantation

TL;DR: 5-year graft survival in donation after cardiac death livers treated by conventional cold storage, or by 1-2 h of hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (HOPE) after cold storage suggests that a simple end-ischaemic perfusion approach is very effective and may open the field for safe utilisation of extended DCD liver grafts.

Validation of a current definition of early allograft dysfunction in liver transplant recipients and analysis of risk factors

TL;DR: A simple definition of EAD using objective posttransplant criteria identified a 23% incidence, and was highly associated with graft loss and patient mortality, validating previously published criteria.
