• Normothermic Machine Perfusion of Donor Livers for Transplantation in the United States

  Annals of Surgery · 2023 · 97 citations

  OBJECTIVE: To compare conventional low-temperature storage of transplant donor livers [static cold storage (SCS)] with storage of the organs at physiological body temperature [normothermic machine perfusion (NMP)]. BACKGROUND: The high success rate of liver transplantation is constrained by the shortage of transplantable organs (eg, waiting list mortality >20% in many centers). NMP maintains the liver in a functioning state to improve preservation quality and enable testing of the organ before t…

  Senior authorCorresponding

  BACKGROUND: Textbook outcome (TO) is an emerging concept within multiple surgical domains, which represents a novel effort to define a standardized, composite quality benchmark based on multiple postoperative endpoints that represent the ideal "textbook" hospitalization. We sought to define TO for liver transplantation (LT) using a cohort from a high procedural volume center. METHODS: Patients who underwent LT at our institution between 2014 and 2017 were eligible for the study. The definition o…

• Dual ex vivo lung perfusion via pulmonary and bronchial arteries in a porcine model

  JTCVS Techniques · 2025-06-26 · 1 citations

  articleOpen access

  Background: Current clinical ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) perfuses the pulmonary arteries (PA) but not the bronchial arteries (BA) that normally supply the upper airway. We hypothesized that the PA alone do not fully perfuse this region during EVLP, which could lead to hypoxic injury in the central airways, especially with extended preservation. In this study, we demonstrate a method for dual-route EVLP (D-EVLP) that perfuses both the PA and BA to improve lung preservation. Methods: Lungs were…
