Liver Transplantation

Machine perfusion is becoming essential in Indian kidney transplantation as reliance on marginal donors (ECD, DCD) grows. This expert consensus, developed with NOTTO, recommends HMP for all DCD [...]

This retrospective single-center study (LMU Munich, 137 patients) compared HCC recurrence after liver transplantation using DBD grafts with and without hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion [...]

This bi-centric Belgian study evaluated the impact of end-ischemic HOPE (Hypothermic Oxygenated Perfusion) on very old DCD liver grafts (?70 years old). Compared with static cold storage, HOPE [...]

The Bridge to HOPE trial is a pivotal multicenter randomized controlled study in the US comparing HOPE via the VitaSmart liver machine to standard static cold storage (SCS) for extended […]

Detailed analysis of DCD biliary outcomes in the multicenter randomized controlled trial (Bridge to HOPE) that evaluated hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (HOPE) versus static cold storage (SCS) [...]

Short editorial reinforcing UW as the benchmark (“gold standard”) preservation solution in liver transplantation, referencing comparative outcome data and practical solution selection [...]

Registry-based analysis demonstrating reduced graft survival associated with HTK in deceased donor liver transplantation, with the strongest signal in DCD livers. This publication is commonly [...]

Large European registry analysis evaluating long-term graft outcomes across preservation solutions in liver transplantation. The study highlights clinically meaningful differences in graft [...]

This 1-day masterclass provides a comprehensive overview of organ machine perfusion, covering theoretical foundations, practical techniques, clinical applications, and ethical considerations. [...]
