Abstract:IntroductionMachine perfusion (MP) was developed to expand the donor pool and improve liver transplantation (LT) outcomes. Despite optimal results in clinical trials, the real‐world MP benefit in centers with low‐/mid‐volume activity (LVCs) is still being determined.MethodsOnline survey on MP for LT, distributed to worldwide LT‐centers representatives. Variables of interest included logistics, technicalities, and outcomes. Responders were grouped into high‐volume centers (HVCs) (>60 LTs/year) and LVCs and r… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
