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.

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.

Novel Real-time Prediction of Liver Graft Function During Hypothermic Oxygenated Machine Perfusion Before Liver Transplantation

TL;DR: Assessment of flavin, a marker of mitochondrial complex I injury, in the perfusate provides a fast prediction of liver graft function and loss during ex situ MP before implantation, which may have high clinical relevance, as liver grafts from extended DBD or DCD donors carry considerable risks for recipients.

Preimplant Normothermic Liver Perfusion of a Suboptimal Liver Donated After Circulatory Death.

TL;DR: Preimplant ex situ normothermic perfusion of the liver appears to be a promising way to evaluate a marginal liver before transplantation and may modify the response to ischemia.
Journal ArticleDOI

First human liver transplantation using a marginal allograft resuscitated by normothermic machine perfusion

TL;DR: The first report of transplantation of a graft salvaged by postischemia NMLP is presented, with a follow-up period of 15 months, derived from this technology’s unique ability to assess viability during storage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Normothermic liver preservation: a new paradigm?

TL;DR: Normothermic perfusion maintains the organ in a physiological state, avoiding the depletion of cellular energy and the accumulation of waste products, which occurs with static cold storage and enables viability assessment prior to transplantation thereby reducing the risk of transplanting inherently marginal organs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biomarkers to assess graft quality during conventional and machine preservation in liver transplantation

TL;DR: The biomarkers presented in this review provide a useful handle to monitor recovery of ECD grafts during clinical MP in the near future and could potentially be applied as predictive markers during MP.
