    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…
