Abstract:IntroductionEx vivo machine perfusion describes the technique where organs are continuously perfused and oxygenated extracorporeally (at physiological conditions) to maintain the organs' viability. To our knowledge, there are currently no reported studies describing ex vivo perfusion of a single hepatic segment. Here, we describe the development of a porcine ex vivo hepatic segmental perfusion model to demonstrate proof of concept and support further research into the ex vivo perfusion of the human liver using… Show more
