Video Summary
Machine perfusion is crucial in improving the utilization of marginal livers by allowing real-time assessment of liver quality, extending preservation time, and potentially repairing cellular function before transplantation. This technology shows promise in enhancing outcomes and increasing the use of non-standard livers. It addresses the organ supply-demand gap and offers the potential to revolutionize liver transplantation. The discussion also touched on donor pool expansion, normothermic regional perfusion benefits, cost-effectiveness of NRP, standardized criteria for graft viability assessment, challenges of xenotransplantation, and ongoing advancements in the field. Dr. Wall stressed the practicality and efficiency of NRP methods. The insights provided shed light on the current state and future of liver transplantation.
