EVLP on Donor Lungs: National Trends and Outcomes
Purpose: The OPTN/UNOS added fields to the deceased donor registration form on 3/31/2015 to capture the intent to utilize ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) on…2018 American Transplant Congress
Resuscitation and Viability Testing of Initially Declined Livers Using Sequential Hypo- and Normothermic Machine Perfusion with an Acellular Fluid
While end-ischemic dual hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (DHOPE) resuscitates mitochondria and reduces ischemia-reperfusion injury, normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) allows for ex-situ functional testing of donor…2018 American Transplant Congress
The Superiority of Plasma Enriched Perfusate for Assessment of Donor Kidneys in an Ex-Vivo Normothermic Perfusion (EVNP) Setting
Surgery, Transplant Division, UC Davis Health System, Sacramento, CA.
EVNP has been used to assess and repair marginal organs prior to transplantation but the optimal perfusate composition is unknown. We hypothesize that EVNP with…2018 American Transplant Congress
Differences in Preservation Solution Formulas and Its Effects on Early Graft Function
Introduction: Machine perfusion has proven benefits and is common practice among transplant centers. However, the formulas of preservation solutions vary between organ procurement organizations (OPOs).…2017 American Transplant Congress
The Treatment of the Graft and the Recipient with α-Lipoic Acid Improves the Delay Graft Function Severity in the Human Kidney Transplant.
A previous pilot clinic trial had showed that treatment of the donor and recipient with a potent anti-oxidant such as α-lipoc acid (ALA) reduces the…2017 American Transplant Congress
Ex-Situ Extended Limb Preservation: A Protocol for Porcine Limb Perfusion.
1Plastic Surgery, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH; 2General Surgery, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH
Background: Ischemia and reperfusion injury remains a significant limiting factor for the success of vascularized composite allotransplantation. Compared to the cold storage of the procured…2017 American Transplant Congress
Twelve Hour Ex Vivo Normothermic Perfusion for the Assessment of High-Risk Discarded Deceased Donor Kidneys.
Department of Surgery, UC Davis Medical Center, Sacramento, CA
Ex-Vivo Normothermic Perfusion (EVNP) has been shown to be useful to assess viability of high-risk deceased donor kidneys, with high renal blood flow and immediate…2017 American Transplant Congress
The Use of a Furosemide Stress Test (FST) for Assessment of Discarded Deceased Donor Kidneys in an Ex-Vivo Normothermic Perfusion Model.
Department of Surgery, UC Davis Medical Center, Sacramento, CA
Studies have shown that Ex-Vivo Normothermic Perfusion (EVNP) has the potential to assess viability and function of high-risk deceased donor kidneys. A diuretic response to…2017 American Transplant Congress
The Use of an Haemoglobin Based Oxygen Carrier in a Human Liver Model of Normothermic Machine Perfusion.
Normothermic machine perfusion of the liver (NMP-L) is a novel technique that preserves liver grafts in an environment that mimics physiological conditions and therefore enables…2016 American Transplant Congress
Creation of a Small Animal Model of Ex-Vivo Normothermic Perfusion (EVNP) for Treatment of Kidney Ischemia-Reperfusion (I/R) Injury.
Department of Surgery, UC Davis Medical Center, Sacramento, CA.
Purpose: Recent studies have suggested that EVNP may be utilized to assess and repair marginal donor organs subjected to severe I/R injury. The lack of…
