Sequential Hypo- and Normo-thermic Perfusion to Preserve Extended Criteria Donor Livers for Transplantation (NCT04023773)
Assess Safety and Feasibility of Sequential Hypothermic Oxygenated Machine Perfusion and Normothermic Machine Perfusion to Preserve Extended Criteria Donor Livers for Transplantation
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) has been shown to be beneficial to preserve extended criteria donor (ECD) livers for transplantation. Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) had the same benefits and also the convenience on liver quality assessment. The investigators proposed to do sequential HMP (1-4 hours) and NMP (1-14 hours) on 18 ECD transplanted human livers by using an institutional-developed perfusion device for liver transplantation.
