Brief Summary:
Prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial to determine the overall efficacy of normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) for steatotic liver preservation versus traditional static cold storage (SCS), in 50 liver transplant recipients with 1-year follow-up.
Detailed Description:
This is a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial comparing static cold storage (SCS) versus normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) for organ preservation before liver transplantation with steatotic livers (between 30 % and 60% of histologic macrovesicular steatosis), in order to:
Main Objective:
To compare the effect of NMP versus SCS in preventing preservation injury and graft dysfunction, as measured by highest transaminase levels during the first week after liver transplantation.
Secondary Objectives:
* To compare graft and patient survival between the NMP and SCS steatotic livers.
* To compare the liver biochemical function between the NMP and SCS steatotic livers.
* To compare the physiological response to the reperfusion between the NMP and SCS steatotic livers.
* To compare the evidence of reperfusion injury between the NMP and SCS steatotic livers.
* To compare the evidence of ischemic cholangiopathy between the NMP and SCS steatotic livers.
