Comparative Study

Anti-inflammatory signaling during ex vivo liver perfusion improves the preservation of pig liver grafts before transplantation.

Normothermic ex vivo liver perfusion (NEVLP) improves graft preservation by avoiding cold ischemia injury. We investigated whether the protective effects of NEVLP can be further improved by applying strategies targeted on reducing the activation of proinflammatory cytokines during perfusion. Livers retrieved under heart-beating conditions were perfused for 4 hours. ⋯ Only 1 early death occurred in each group (80% survival). In conclusion, addition of anti-inflammatory strategies further improves warm perfused preservation. Liver Transplantation 22 1573-1583 2016 AASLD.
