Novel approaches in optimising steatotic livers for transplantation

Thesis

Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) has the potential to transform liver transplantation by facilitating the safe and reliable transplantation of higher-risk livers, thereby reducing the number of waiting list deaths. However, it poses logistical challenges and the evidence to support its potential beneficial effects in steatotic livers remain to be elucidated in human studies. This thesis aims to investigate whether the preservation of steatotic livers can be enhanced by NMP resulting in im...
