Machine 'resuscitates' risky donor livers, expands transplant pool
NCT ID NCT06804746
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether donated livers that were not perfect (called extended criteria donor livers) could be safely used for transplant after being treated with a special machine that pumps fluids through them. The goal was to see if these livers would work well and last a long time in patients who needed a new liver. The study followed 143 patients and checked how many livers were still working and how many patients survived over time.
