    Subnormothermic Machine Perfusion (SNMP) with a Hemoglobin Based Oxygen Carrier (HBOC) Solution Reprograms Dynamic Inflammation Networks When Compared to Cold Storage (CS) in a Porcine Liver Allograft Model.

    D. Sadowsky, R. Zamora, B. Banan, D. Barclay, J. Yin, Y. Vodovotz, P. Fontes.

    University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh.

    Introduction: Inflammatory markers have been mostly studied by standard statistical analysis focused on single component variations. This study aimed to compare SNMP with CS regarding…

    Amino Acid (AA) Metabolism During Liver Allograft Preservation Comparing Subnormothermic Machine Perfusion (MP) Against Cold Storage (CS).

    B. Banan, R. Lopez, C. Hughes, G. Michalopoulos, P. Fontes.

    University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh.

    Introduction: Liver is the major site for nitrogen metabolism. Most hepatic transcriptional activity is related to protein-specific synthesis. Liver preservation has a direct impact in…

    Metabolic Recovery and Ex Vivo Simulation of Early Liver Reperfusion.

    B. Bruinsma,1 J. Avruch,2 G. Sridharan,1 P. Weeder,1 N. Karimian,1 J. Markmann,2 K. Uygun,1 H. Yeh.2

    1Center for Engineering in Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA; 2Transplant Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA.

    Purpose. An urgent need for more liver grafts for transplantation has prompted the use of more suboptimal organs. Particularly in these more marginal livers adequate…

    Lipid Metabolism and Preservation of Discarded Steatotic Human Livers Using 24 Hours Ex-Vivo Normothermic Machine Perfusion.

    Q. Liu, A. Nassar, G. Iuppa, B. Soliman, L. Buccini, M. Blum, T. Okamoto, T. Uso, A. Bennett, W. Baldwin, K. Abu-Elmagd, J. Fung, C. Miller, C. Quintini.

    Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH.

    One primary reason to discard donor livers after procurement is severe steatosis. The impact of normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) on lipid metabolism and preservation of…

    Normothermic Ex Vivo Liver Perfusion (NEVLP) Using Steen Solution as Preservation Technique for Liver Transplantation-First Clinical Results.

    M. Selzner, N. Goldaracena, J. Echeverri, I. Linares, M. Kaths, N. Selzner, M. Cattral, E. Renner, A. Ghanekar, L. Lilly, P. Greig, I. McGilvray, D. Grant.

    Surgery, Toronto General Hospital, Toronto, Canada.

    The European trial investigating NEVLP as preservation technique for liver transplantation uses Gelafusine, a non-FDA approved bovine derived gelatin-based perfusion solution. In contrast, we report…

    Controlled Oxygenated Rewarming and Subnormothermic Machine Perfusion of Steatotic Livers: First Clinical Results.

    D. Hoyer,1 A. Gallinat,1 J. Treckmann,1 T. Benkoe,1 S. Swoboda,1 U. Rauen,2 A. Paul,1 T. Minor.1

    1General, Visceral and Transplantation Surgery, University Hospital Essen, Essen, Germany; 2Institute of Physiological Chemistry, University Hospital Essen, Essen, Germany.

    IntroductionControlled oxygenated rewarming (COR) of cold stored livers by machine perfusion demonstrated convincing results in the first clinical pilot series (1). Here we report on…

    Serelaxin Decreases the Severity of Cold Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury After Liver Transplantation in Mice.

    S. Kageyama, K. Nakamura, R. Busuttil, J. Kupiec-Weglinski.

    The Dumont-UCLA Transplantation Center, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA.

    Background. Extended cold preservation contributes to ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), which impairs graft function and leads to poor clinical outcomes. Serelaxin (SER), a recombinant form of…
  • 2016 American Transplant Congress

    Subnormothermic Machine Perfusion (SNMP) of Liver Allografts with a Novel Hemoglobin-Based Oxygen Carrier (HBOC) Increases β-Oxidation of Fatty Acids and Decreases Lipid Peroxidation (LP).

    B. Banan, R. Lopez, C. Hughes, G. Michalopoulos, P. Fontes.

    University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh.

    Introduction: There is limited information about the lipid metabolic profile during liver allograft preservation. LP remains a major component of ischemia-reperfusion injuries (IRIs). The aim…
