- Abstract
Cold ischemia time is a well-known risk factor for the development of non-anastomotic biliary strictures (NAS) after liver transplantation. End-ischemic hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (HOPE) of DCD liver grafts reduces the incidence of NAS, and has the potential to reduce cold ischemia times. We hypothesized that if a part of the back-table procedure could be performed under continuous HOPE, cold ischemia times would be reduced.
