Ex vivo reperfusion model to evaluate the utility of machine preservation for porcine liver donated after cardiac death

In this study, an ex vivo reperfusion model (ERM) simulating transplantation using diluted autologous blood under normothermic conditions was evaluated for its utility of MP under subnormothermic conditions for liver donated after cardiac death (DCD).
