Liver and kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for end-stage liver and renal disease. However, the persisting organ shortage remains a major drawback in the field of transplantation. Additional sources to increase the donor pool are grafts recovered from extended criteria donors (ECD) and donation after circulatory death (DCD). Although transplantation of so „marginal grafts“ demonstrates promising outcomes, increased rates of primary non-function (PNF), early allograft dysfunction (EAD), and delayed graft function (DGF), respectively, have been reported and result in reduced graft survival. 

Cold ischemic injury, caused by static cold storage, is a significant risk factor for poor outcome. Machine perfusion (MP) at various temperatures bears the potential to improve organ preservation, assessment, and repair. In this webinar, recent progress in machine perfusion of liver and kidney grafts prior to transplantation will be explained and demonstrated.

We look forward to your participation!
