Official Title: Machine-perfusion for Liver Transplantation in High Versus Low/Mid-volume Centres: an International Multicentre Survey
Brief Summary:
Introduction: Machine perfusion (MP) was developed to expand the available donor pool and to improve liver transplantation outcomes. Despite optimal results in clinical trials, MP benefit outside of clinical experimentation in unknown. Low/mid volume centres (L/MVCs) may face logistical/economical difficulties that may in turn hamper optimal MP results.Methods: An Online 22-item survey on the use of machine perfusion for liver transplantation outside of clinical trials, was distributed to worldwide LT centres…
