Ex-situ oxygenated hypothermic machine perfusion in donation after circulatory death heart transplantation following either direct procurement or in-situ normothermic regional perfusion

Niels Moeslund, Imran A. Ertugrul, Michiel A. Hu, Frederik Flyvholm Dalsgaard, Lars Bo Ilkjaer, Pia Ryhammer, Michael Pedersen, Michiel E. Erasmus, Hans Eiskjaer

Summary: In this study, a novel oxygenated hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) system was compared to static cold storage (SCS) in heart transplantation (HTX). The results showed that hearts preserved with HMP exhibited increased biventricular contractility post-HTX and required less dobutamine for maintaining cardiac output. Additionally, HMP groups had lower levels of myocardial damage. Therefore, DCD HTX can be successfully performed using DPP followed by preservation with HMP.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and feasibility of sequential hypothermic oxygenated perfusion and normothermic machine perfusion and the potential benefits of graft viability preservation and assessment before liver transplantation. 17 expanded criteria donor livers underwent sequential hypothermic oxygenated perfusion and normothermic machine perfusion. The results showed that sequential hypothermic oxygenated perfusion and normothermic machine perfusion preservation is safe and feasible and has the potential benefits of preserving and evaluating expanded criteria donor livers.

The role of sequential normothermic regional perfusion and end-ischemic normothermic machine perfusion in liver transplantation from very extended uncontrolled donation after cardiocirculatory death

Davide Ghinolfi, Fabio Melandro, Francesco Torri, Massimo Esposito, Maria Bindi, Giandomenico Biancofiore, Giuseppina Basta, Serena Del Turco, Chiara Lazzeri, Maria Isabella Rotondo, Adriano Peris, Paolo De Simone

Summary: The use of pre-procurement normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) allows for controlled DCD liver transplantation, with comparable results to brain death donors. However, logistic challenges and post-transplant complications have led to a decline in the use of uncontrolled DCD. In Italy, the combination of NRP and ex-situ machine perfusion has been used to counterbalance the negative effects of prolonged warm ischemia.

Summary: Thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion (TA-NRP) is a method used in the United States to recover cardiothoracic allografts from donors after circulatory death (DCD). Limited data on lung transplants using TA-NRP has prompted a national retrospective review. The study found that recipients of TA-NRP DCD transplants had a lower likelihood of prolonged ventilation and similar outcomes to direct recovery DCD transplants.

Summary: The use of thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion (TA-NRP) in donation after circulatory death (DCD) is an important development in organ donation. However, there have been concerns about the restoration of brain blood flow. In this study, the authors used intraoperative transcranial Doppler (TCD) to assess brain blood flow in two DCD TA-NRP cases and found no evidence of restored blood flow.

The Distinct Innate Immune Response of Warm Ischemic Injured Livers during Continuous Normothermic Machine Perfusion

Joris Blondeel, Nicholas Gilbo, Veerle Heedfeld, Tine Wylin, Louis Libbrecht, Ina Jochmans, Jacques Pirenne, Hannelie Korf, Diethard Monbaliu

Summary: During normothermic machine perfusion (NMP), livers procured after warm ischemia (WI) exhibit a distinct innate immune response compared to directly procured (DP) livers. The cytokine profile in WI livers shifts towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype during NMP and whole blood (WB) reperfusion, while pro-apoptotic signaling is stronger during NMP. WB reperfusion results in a blunted cytokine release in livers, suggesting a reconditioning effect of NMP, regardless of ischemic damage.

Summary: This study retrospectively evaluated the overall survival rate, the impact of anti-HCV direct-acting agents (DAA), and the rate of HCC recurrence in HBV/HCV-infected patients who underwent liver transplantation (LT). The results showed improved post-LT survival after DAA availability and no impact of HIV on mortality. However, co-infected individuals had a higher and delayed rate of HCC recurrence.

A new ex-situ machine perfusion device. A preliminary evaluation using a model of donors after circulatory death pig livers

Davide Ghinolfi, Fabio Melandro, Damiano Patrono, Quirino Lai, Riccardo De Carlis, Stefania Camagni, Alessandro Gambella, Franco Ruberto, Paolo De Simone

Summary: This article describes a new ex-situ machine perfusion device, showcasing its technology using a model of liver grafts from slaughtered pigs after circulatory death. The device demonstrated stable perfusion under both hypothermic and normothermic conditions, with no technical failures observed. A built-in adsorption device effectively removed inflammatory cytokines during treatment. This preliminary experience provides a starting point for further research on the potential clinical benefits of cytokines and other inflammatory mediators adsorption during machine perfusion.

Summary: The viability of liver grafts with significant MaS (>= 30%) has not been specifically assessed in end-ischemic NMP. Our study found that NMP allowed successful transplantation of 57% of livers with moderate-to-severe MaS. Prolonged observation and stable lactate clearance are important for the use of steatotic livers.

Oniscu, Jeroen de Jonge, Mickael Lesurtel, Luciano G. De Carlis, C. Burcin Taner, Nigel Heaton, Andrea Schlegel, Philipp Dutkowski

Summary: Liver graft utilization rates and discard rates vary across countries, with machine perfusion strategies contributing to better DCD utilization rates. Risk factors and use of various machine perfusion techniques vary between countries, but this does not significantly impact 5-year graft survival rates. Overall, countries with routine use of machine perfusion strategies have higher DCD utilization rates without compromised outcomes.

Clinical Impact of Spontaneous Portosystemic Shunts in Liver Transplantation: A Comprehensive Assessment Through Total Shunt Area Measurement

Summary: The study found that spontaneous portosystemic shunts (SPSSs) have a significant impact on the natural history of cirrhotic patients and postoperative outcomes following liver transplantation (LT). A higher total shunt area (TSA) is associated with lower patient survival and increased risks of early allograft dysfunction, acute kidney injury, and clinically relevant complications. Therefore, careful hemodynamic assessment and management are crucial for patients with multiple or larger shunts.

Summary: This study aims to describe a case series of patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis and Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP). The results show that liver cirrhosis can be an independent risk factor for PCP, especially in patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis who are on corticosteroid treatment for decompensated cirrhosis. Primary prophylaxis for PCP should be considered in these patients.

Summary: Liver transplantation (LT) is a complex surgical procedure that requires careful planning and care to ensure the nutritional status of the patient. This review examines the assessment and management of nutritional status before, during, and after LT, specifically for patients who have undergone bariatric surgery. Key factors influencing nutritional status in liver transplant patients, such as pre-existing malnutrition, liver disease severity, comorbidities, and immunosuppressive medications, are identified. The review emphasizes the importance of pre-operative nutritional assessment and intervention, close monitoring of nutritional status, individualized nutrition care plans, and ongoing support after LT. It also evaluates the impact of bariatric surgery on the nutritional status of liver transplant recipients, providing valuable insights for optimizing nutritional status during the transplant process.
