- Question
Further research on ex-situ machine perfusion for extracorporeal preservation of livers for transplantation should report the exact method of perfusion used (such as
hypothermic or normothermic), graft survival and the use of marginal grafts.- Any explanatory notes
(if applicable) The evidence on ex-situ machine perfusion for extracorporeal preservation of livers for transplantation raises no major safety concerns. However, current evidence on its efficacy is limited in quantity. Therefore, this procedure should only be used with special arrangements for clinical governance, consent, and audit or research.
