DOI: 10.1002/lt.25326
Abstract: Cold storage (CS) remains the gold standard for organ preservation worldwide, although it is inevitably associated with ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI). Molecular hydrogen (H2) is well known to have antioxidative properties. However, its unfavorable features, ie,… read more here.

The “Skinny” on Assessment and Utilization of Steatotic Liver Grafts: A Systematic Review
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Liver Transplantation"
DOI: 10.1002/lt.25408
Abstract: The frequency at which steatotic deceased donor liver grafts are encountered will likely continue to increase. Utilization of liver grafts with moderate‐to‐severe steatosis for liver transplantation (LT) has been previously shown to be associated with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.transproceed.2018.02.061
Abstract: BACKGROUND Liver transplantation from donors after cardiac death (DCD) provides a solution to the donor shortage. However, DCD liver grafts are associated with a high incidence of primary graft nonfunction. We investigated the effectiveness of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.transproceed.2018.08.019
Abstract: Splitting deceased donor livers and creating 3 grafts from a whole liver may be feasible and shorten the waiting time for organ donation in patients with high mortality rates. We hypothesized that it might be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/tp.0000000000002127
Abstract: BACKGROUND In the United Kingdom, up to 20% of liver graft offers are not used for transplantation, and the reasons for graft refusal are multifactorial and not consistent among transplant units. METHODS Liver grafts previously… read more here.
