Open Label Trial of Deceased Donor Livers Transplanted After DHOPE With eXVIVO LIVER Perfusion

Clinically, end-ischemic DHOPE has been shown to restore hepatic ATP, reduce reperfusion injury, and improve outcomes after deceased donor liver transplantation. Recent prospective and retrospective clinical studies detail the safety and feasibility of prolonged preservation of donor livers with DHOPE for up to 20 hours; prolonged perfusion has shown similarly low rates of serious adverse events, a potential protective effect in mitigating acute kidney injury and may facilitate decreased frequency of discarded and nonuse of donor livers.
