With increasing demand for donor organs for transplantation, machine perfusion (MP)
promises to be a beneficial alternative preservation method for donor livers, particularly …

Background & Aims Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) has thus far been considered as an
inevitable component of organ transplantation, compromising outcomes, and limiting organ …

Dynamic preservation strategies are a promising option to improve graft quality before
transplantation, and to extend preservation time for either logistic or treatment reasons. In …

Dual hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (DHOPE) of the liver has been advocated
as a method to reduce ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI). This study aimed to determine …

Use of donation after circulatory death (DCD) donor livers for transplantation has remained
cautious in the United States. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the expansion of a …

Background Duration of functional warm ischemia (f‐WIT) is thought to have a causal effect
on outcomes in controlled donation after circulatory death (DCD) liver transplantation (LT) …

Objective: To evaluate the use of elderly donors in liver transplantation (LT) and identify risk
factors associated with a worse outcome. Summary Background Data: Use of livers from …

The pervasive shortage of deceased donor liver allografts contributes to significant waitlist
mortality despite efforts to increase organ donation. Ex vivo liver perfusion appears to …
