Liver Transplantation Using Prolonged Cold Ischemia Time Grafts Preserved With Institute George-Lopez-1 Solution

Institute George-Lopez-1 (IGL-1) solution is a preservation solution with lower potassium and lower viscosity than the University of Wisconsin solution that has been recently used in liver transplantation. In the present series, we compare the outcome of liver grafts from brain-dead donors preserved in IGL-1cold storage solution, with cold ischemia times (CITs) longer than 8 hours and those less than 8 hours. Two hundred fifty-two liver transplantations performed from January 2014 to December 2016 at Hospital Santa Isabel, Blumenau, Brazil, were retrospectively analyzed.
