Preliminary Single-Center Canadian Experience of Human Normothermic Ex Vivo Liver Perfusion: Results of a Clinical Trial.

TLDR
A preliminary single‐center North American experience using identical NMP technology demonstrates feasibility as well as potential technical risks of NMP in a North American setting and highlights a need for larger, randomized studies.

Transplantation of declined livers after normothermic perfusion.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors report that 71.5% of discarded liver allografts were successfully transplanted after ex vivo normothermic machine perfusion and assessment using an institutionally built device.

Heme oxygenase-1-modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells combined with normothermic machine perfusion to protect donation after circulatory death liver grafts

TL;DR: Hme oxygenase 1-modified bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) combined with normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) exerted protective effects on DCD donor liver and significantly improved recipient prognosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bioengineering approaches to organ preservation ex vivo.

TL;DR: An overview of the current status of ex vivo machine perfusion in the pre-clinical and clinical setting is provided and a perspective on the future direction of the field is shared.

Classification of surgical complications: a new proposal with evaluation in a cohort of 6336 patients and results of a survey.

TL;DR: The new complication classification appears reliable and may represent a compelling tool for quality assessment in surgery in all parts of the world.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

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

Liver Transplantation Using Donation After Cardiac Death Donors: Long-Term Follow-Up from a Single Center

TL;DR: There was a lack of survival benefit in DCD livers utilized in patients with model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) ≤30 or those not on organ‐perfusion support, as graft survival was significantly lower compared to DBD patients, however, DCD and DBD subjects transplanted with MELD >30 or on organ-perfusions support had similar graft survival, suggesting a potentially greater benefit of DCDLivers in critically ill patients.
