US Liver Transplant Outcomes After Normothermic Regional Perfusion vs Standard Super Rapid Recovery.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) is an emerging recovery modality for transplantable allografts from controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD) donors. In the US, only 11.4% of liver recipients who are transplanted from a deceased donor receive a cDCD liver. NRP has the potential to safely expand the US donor pool with improved transplant outcomes as compared with standard super rapid recovery (SRR).

Objective

To assess outcomes of US liver transplants using controlled donation after circulatory death livers recovered with normothermic regional perfusion vs standard super rapid recovery.

Design, setting, and participants

This was a retrospective, observational cohort study comparing liver transplant outcomes from cDCD donors recovered by NRP vs
