Continuous Normothermic Machine Perfusion for Renovation of Extended Criteria Donor Livers Without Recooling in Liver Transplantation: A Pilot Experience

Continuous Normothermic Machine Perfusion for Renovation of Extended Criteria Donor Livers Without Recooling in Liver Transplantation: A Pilot Experience

Background: Ischemia injury affects the recovery of liver allograft function. We propose a novel technique aimed at avoiding a second ischemic injury: transplanting an extended criteria donor (ECD) liver directly under normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) without recooling. We studied two cases to e...
