Monocentric study compares end-ischemic hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion with static cold storage in liver transplantation, suggesting improved outcomes.
Background: Hypothermic oxygenated liver perfusion (HOPE) has proven to be a promising approach to reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) following liver transplantation (LTx), especially due to the increasing use of extended criteria donor (ECD) organs. In our monocentric study we report the early results after routine use of end-ischemic HOPE in comparison with a historical cohort preserved by static cold storage (SCS).
