New registry monitors liver transplant device in thousands of patients
NCT ID NCT07578441
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is a registry that collects information from up to 5,000 people who received a liver transplant after the donated liver was treated with the VitaSmart HOPE system. The device keeps the liver cool and oxygenated before transplant. The goal is to see how well the device works in everyday hospital use and whether patients and their new livers are doing well up to 5 years after surgery. No extra treatments or visits are required beyond standard care.
