Abstract
BACKGROUND: Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) can provide access to evaluate and resuscitate high-risk donor livers before transplantation. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of NMP in preservation and assessment of extended-criteria donor (ECD) livers in China.
CASE REPORT: From September 2018 to March 2019, 4 liver grafts from 3 transplant center defined as ECD were subjected to NMP, and then were transplanted successfully. During perfusion, perfusion parameters such as vascular flow, glucose level, lactate clearance, and bile production/composition were recorded to assess graft viability. All recipients were followed up 6 months after transplantation.
CONCLUSIONS: NMP provides a potential tool for preservation and assessment of ECD livers in China.
