However, there is no consistent criteria for the assessment of liver grafts with NMP.

Dieter C. Broering, Yasser Elsheikh, Yasir Alnemary, Ahmed Zidan, Ahmed Elsarawy, Yahia Saleh, Saleh Alabbad, Mark Sturdevant, Yao‐Ming Wu, Roberto I. Troisi – 15 June 2020 – Robotic right lobe donor hepatectomy (RRLDH) is rarely performed, and data concerning its safety and efficacy are lacking. Here we compare our series of RRLDHs with a similar cohort undergoing open right lobe donor hepatectomy (ORLDH) with a propensity score–matched (PSM) analysis.

Corinne Antoine, Carine Jasseron, Federica Dondero, Eric Savier, the French National Steering Committee of Donors After Circulatory Death – 12 June 2020 – A national program of controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD) began in France in 2014 involving the use of a standardized national protocol that involves the systematic use of normothermic regional perfusion (NRP). In this article, we describe in detail the French cDCD program. Between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2018, 225 livers were offered for donation, resulting in 123 cDCD liver transplantations (LTs).

Jordyn Silverstein, Garrett Roll, Jennifer L. Dodge, Joshua D. Grab, Francis Y. Yao, Neil Mehta – 12 June 2020 – Liver transplantation (LT) recipients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) receive a higher proportion of livers from donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors compared with non‐HCC etiologies. Nevertheless, data on outcomes in patients with HCC receiving DCD grafts are limited. We evaluated the influence of DCD livers on post‐LT outcome among HCC patients.
