Abstract
Livers procured from donors after circulatory death (DCD) have increasingly been used for liver transplantation (LT) to address the organ crisis. While DCD LT increases patient access to life-saving treatment, this practice creates risks for recipients, including primary allograft non-function, early allograft dysfunction, and ischemic cholangiopathy. These complications are due to the unique ischemia and reperfusion injury related to different phases of organ procurement and preservation in DCD. Therefore, substantial research efforts and innovations on DCD LT have primarily aimed at reducing these complications. One such advance is the utilization of ex vivo machine perfusion of the donor liver in DCD LT. This review focused on the data from clinical trials and studies in human DCD LT.
期刊介绍:
To provide to national and regional audiences experiences unique to them or confirming of broader concepts originating in large controlled trials. All aspects of organ, tissue and cell transplantation clinically and experimentally. Transplantation Reports will provide in-depth representation of emerging preclinical, impactful and clinical experiences. -Original basic or clinical science articles that represent initial limited experiences as preliminary reports. -Clinical trials of therapies previously well documented in large trials but now tested in limited, special, ethnic or clinically unique patient populations. -Case studies that confirm prior reports but have occurred in patients displaying unique clinical characteristics such as ethnicities or rarely associated co-morbidities. Transplantation Reports offers these benefits: -Fast and fair peer review -Rapid, article-based publication -Unrivalled visibility and exposure for your research -Immediate, free and permanent access to your paper on Science Direct -Immediately citable using the article DOI
