Liver transplant outcomes after ex vivo machine perfusion: a meta-analysis

The pressure on liver-transplant programmes has expanded the usage of extended-criteria allografts. Machine perfusion may be better than conventional static cold storage (SCS) in alleviating ischaemia-reperfusion injury in this setting. Recipient outcomes with hypothermic or normothermic machine perfusion were assessed against SCS here.A search in MEDLINE, EMBASE and Scopus was conducted in February 2021. Primary studies investigating ex vivo...
