As part of the Liver4Life project, researchers in Zurich have developed a new machine that can keep livers alive outside the body for up to a week. The development of this machine could reduce waiting ...

Recovered through Legacy of Life Hawaii, Hawaii's federally designated organ procurement organization (OPO), the donor's left kidney traveled 4,311.2 nautical miles from Honolulu to New York, NY. The ...

Since early 2023, it has become standard practice at Universitair Medisch Centrum Groningen (UMCG) to perform virtually all hour-long liver transplants during daytime. This is possible because donor ...

For brain-dead organ donors, therapeutic hypothermia is inferior to machine perfusion of the kidneys for reducing delayed graft function after transplantation, according to a study published in the ...

Each day, 17 people waiting for an organ donation die in the United States. Research shows potential drawbacks to the traditional cold storage method for donated organs. In a first, the Liver4Life ...

A human liver deemed not viable for transplant has been repaired by an innovative perfusion machine and subsequently transplanted into a patient who continues to do well a year after the ...

It is safe for patients to receive a donor liver that has been intentionally preserved overnight using machine perfusion to enable a daytime transplant. This is shown by a study performed at the ...

Therapeutic hypothermia of donors didn't preserve kidney function as well as machine perfusion of the organ during cold storage, a randomized trial found. Compared with kidneys pumped with a ...

Since early 2023, it has become standard practice at UMCG to perform virtually all hour-long liver transplants during daytime. This is possible because donor livers can be preserved for much longer ...
