Applications of liver normothermic perfusion in transplantational organ preservation / 中华肝胆外科杂志

ABSTRACT

With the increasing demand for liver transplantation,some previously abandoned donors,called marginal donor,started to be involved in clinical liver transplantation,which raises higher requirement on the organ preservation methods.Normothermic perfusion is regarded to be superior to the currently adopted hypothermic perfusion,and plays an important role in the organ preservation of marginal donors.This review will summarize the clinical applications of liver normothermic perfusion in transplantation and repair,as well as its roles in basic research.
