Liver Transplantation and Normothermic Machine Perfusion

Liver transplantation is regarded as the first-line treatment for different end-stage liver diseases. Due to an ongoing organ shortage, leading to an increased transplantation of extended donor criteria organs and an often poor condition of the recipients, current clinical strategies are in need of optimization. Our workgroups aims to evaluate normothermic machine perfusion for individualized optimization of liver grafts in a porcine model.
