Transplantation of Declined Liver Allografts Following Normothermic Ex-Situ Evaluation

TLDR
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.

The role of machine perfusion in liver xenotransplantation.

TL;DR: NMP can not only assist in the development of other novel technologies by providing a unique environment to safely study organ function and assess organ suitability but may also improve outcomes following hepatic xenotransplantation.

Moving the Margins: Updates on the Renaissance in Machine Perfusion for Organ Transplantation

TL;DR: Ex vivo machine perfusion is transitioning from being dormant to indispensable in clinical organ transplantation, providing a platform for extended assessment, superior preservation, and targeted therapy, which can make marginal, previously declined organs a part of the donor pool.

The Clavien-Dindo classification of surgical complications: five-year experience.

TL;DR: This 5-year evaluation provides strong evidence that the classification of complications is valid and applicable worldwide in many fields of surgery, and subjective, inaccurate, or confusing terms such as “minor or major” should be removed from the surgical literature.
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.

UK health performance: findings of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010

TL;DR: The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2010 (GBD 2010) as mentioned in this paper examined the patterns of health loss in the UK, the leading preventable risks that explain some of these patterns, and how UK outcomes compare with a set of comparable countries in the European Union and elsewhere in 1990 and 2010.
