Despite increasing donor numbers, waiting lists and pre‐transplant mortality continue to
grow in many countries. The number of donor organs suitable for liver transplantation is …

The success of liver transplantation has resulted in a dramatic organ shortage. In most
transplant regions 20-30% of patients on the waiting list for liver transplantation die without …

Background. To minimize the ischemia-reperfusion injury that occurs to the liver with the
current method of preservation and transplantation, we have used an extracorporeal circuit …

Avoidance of cold ischaemic preservation damage and repair of injury sustained during
warm ischaemia and organ procurement would potentially allow many livers from extended …

The growing demand for donor organs requires measures to expand donor pool. Those
include extended criteria donors, such as elderly people, steatotic livers, donation after …

The number of donor organs suitable for liver transplantation is restricted by cold
preservation and ischemia–reperfusion injury. We present the first patients transplanted …

In recent years, there has been growing interest in normothermic machine perfusion (NMP)
as a preservation method in liver transplantation. In most countries, because of a donor …

Maintaining organ viability after donation until transplantation is critically important for
optimal graft function and survival. To date, static cold storage is the most widely used form …

In contrast to traditional static cold preservation of donor livers, normothermic machine
perfusion may reduce preservation injury, improve graft viability and potentially allows ex …

To reduce widespread shortages, attempts are made to use more marginal livers for
transplantation. Many of these grafts are discarded for fear of inferior survival rates or biliary …
