With the increasing number of accepted candidates on waiting lists worldwide, there is an
urgent need to expand the number and the quality of donor livers. Dynamic preservation …

Liver transplantation (LT) was originally described by Starzl as a promising strategy to treat
primary malignancies of the liver. Confronted with high recurrence rates, indications drifted …

Background & Aims Machine perfusion is a novel method intended to optimize livers before
transplantation. However, its effect on morbidity within a 1-year period after transplantation …

Background & Aims Machine perfusion is increasingly being tested in clinical
transplantation. Despite this, the number of large prospective clinical trials remains limited …

Background & Aims Liver graft utilization rates are a hot topic due to the worldwide organ
shortage and the increasing number of transplant candidates on waiting lists. Liver perfusion …

Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) after static cold storage is increasingly used for
preservation and assessment of human donor livers prior to transplantation. Biliary viability …

Background To report on a concept of liver assessment during ex situ hypothermic
oxygenated perfusion (HOPE) and its significant impact on liver utilization. Methods An …

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 …

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

Background & Aims Despite strong evidence for improved preservation of donor livers by
machine perfusion, longer post-transplant follow-up data are urgently needed in an …
