Resuscitation of ischemic donor livers with normothermic machine perfusion: a metabolic flux analysis of treatment in rats. [PDF]
Normothermic machine perfusion has previously been demonstrated to restore damaged warm ischemic livers to transplantable condition in animal models. However, the mechanisms of recovery are unclear, preventing rational optimization of perfusion systems ...

The Landscape of In Situ and Ex Situ Machine Perfusion Utilization for Liver Grafts From Noncardiac Donation After Circulatory Death Donors in the Early era of Machine Perfusion in the United States [PDF]
Background. Donation after circulatory death (DCD) is the major contributor to the growth in deceased organ donation in the United States. Normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) and ex situ machine perfusion (es-MP) have been vital for improving organ ...

A Comprehensive Review of Ex-Vivo Machine Perfusion in Uterus Transplantation [PDF]
Uterine transplantation has revolutionized previously incurable causes of infertility. While most transplants are performed with live donors, the use of deceased donors could potentially expand the donor pool and increase the number of transplants ...

Ex-vivo Kidney Machine Perfusion: Therapeutic Potential [PDF]
Kidney transplantation remains the gold standard treatment for patients suffering from end-stage kidney disease. To meet the constantly growing organ demands grafts donated after circulatory death (DCD) or retrieved from extended criteria donors (ECD ...

Hypothermic machine perfusion in liver transplantation [PDF]
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 contrast to normothermic oxygenated perfusion, which intends to mimic physiological conditions in the human body, with subsequent clinical application for up to 24 hrs ...

Machine Perfusion of the Liver: A Review of Clinical Trials
Although efforts have been made by transplant centers to increase the pool of available livers by extending the criteria of liver acceptance, this practice creates risks for recipients that include primary non-function of the graft, early allograft ...

The role of oxygenation in kidney and liver machine perfusion
Background. Organ transplantation is the optimal decision for patients in the end stage of many diseases. Certain conditions are required for the transportation and preservation of a donor organ after explantation, including factors such as temperature ...
