Hypothermic Oxygenated Liver Perfusion: Basic Mechanisms and Clinical Application
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dynamic preservation strategies such as hypothermic machine perfusion are increasingly discussed to improve liver graft quality before transplantation. This review summarizes current knowledge of this perfusion technique for liver preservation. We discuss optimization of perfusion conditions and current strategies to assess graft quality during cold perfusion. Next, we provide an overview of possible pathways of protection from ischemia-reperfusion injury. Finally, we report on recent clinical applications of human hypothermic machine liver perfusion.

Hypothermic Machine Preservation of the Liver: State of the Art
Purpose of Review In this review, we highlight which livers may benefit from additional treatment before implantation and describe the concept of hypothermic machine liver perfusion. Furthermore, we explain why cold oxygenated perfusion concepts could potentially lead to a breakthrough in this challenging field of transplantation. Accordingly, we summarize recent clinical applications of differ...
متن کاملPrediction of Hepatocellular Preservation Injury Immediately Before Human Liver Transplantation by Controlled Oxygenated Rewarming
T acceptance of livers of limited quality has been the predominant way to increase the donor pool in recent years. Unfortunately, this practice increases the risk afflicted with the procedure, because these organs are more prone to preservation induced injury and ultimately allograft damage and dysfunction. Accordingly, morbidity and mortality are increased in the context of marginal liver allo...
متن کاملEffects of pulmonary artery perfusion on gas exchange and alveolar matrix metalloproteinases after cardiopulmonary bypass in a swine model
Background: The lung is the least protected organ during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The present pilot-study was designed to determine the effects of the infusion of cooled, oxygenated blood into the pulmonary artery as hypothermic lung perfusion (HLP) on gas exchange and inflammation after CPB in an animal model. Methods: Pigs were randomly assigned to a control group (n=6) undergoing CPB wi...
متن کاملHypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion prevents arteriolonecrosis of the peribiliary plexus in pig livers donated after cardiac death
Background Livers derived from donation after cardiac death (DCD) are increasingly accepted for transplantation. However, DCD livers suffer additional donor warm ischemia, leading to biliary injury and more biliary complications after transplantation. It is unknown whether oxygenated machine perfusion results in better preservation of biliary epithelium and the peribiliary vasculature. We compa...
متن کاملHypothermic Oxygenated Machine Perfusion Prevents Arteriolonecrosis of the Peribiliary Plexus in Pig Livers Donated after Circulatory Death
BACKGROUND Livers derived from donation after circulatory death (DCD) are increasingly accepted for transplantation. However, DCD livers suffer additional donor warm ischemia, leading to biliary injury and more biliary complications after transplantation. It is unknown whether oxygenated machine perfusion results in better preservation of biliary epithelium and the peribiliary vasculature. We c...
