MP adds a further element of complexity in the process of assessing the quality of a liver
graft. Understanding the physiology of the parameters included in the different assessment …

Background The gold standard for organ preservation before transplantation is static cold
storage, which is unable to fully protect suboptimal livers from ischemia/reperfusion injury …

Background A measure of donor liver quality, the donor liver index, was developed and
validated for the UK population of transplant recipients. Unlike previously proposed …

Ex vivo machine perfusion (MP) is a promising way to better preserve livers prior to
transplantation. Currently, no methodology has a verified benefit over simple cold storage …

Background Liver transplantation is the only curative treatment option for end-stage liver
disease; however, its use remains limited due to a shortage of suitable organs. In recent …

Abstract Purpose of Review In this review, we highlight which livers may benefit from
additional treatment before implantation and describe the concept of hypothermic machine …

Background. Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) has become a clinically established
tool to preserve livers in a near-physiological environment. However, little is known about …

Normothermic ex vivo kidney perfusion (NEVKP) represents a novel approach for graft
preservation and functional improvement in kidney transplantation. We investigated whether …

End‐ischemic viability testing by normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) represents an
effective strategy to recover liver grafts having initially been discarded for liver …

Severe allograft dysfunction, as opposed to the expected immediate function, following liver
transplantation is a major complication, and the clinical manifestations of such that lead to …
