Monitoring liver grafts with a tiny probe during transplant
This study uses a tiny probe placed in the new liver during transplant surgery to monitor its health in real time. It may help doctors detect problems early and improve recovery after transplant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You are on the Slovenian liver transplant waiting list and have a matching donor liver scheduled for transplant surgery.
- You agree to sign a consent form allowing researchers to take small fluid samples from your new liver during the operation and share them with other studies.
- You do not have a history of allergic reactions to contrast dye used in imaging tests.

This study uses a new MRI technique to check how well your new liver is working after transplant, without any needles or biopsy. If you have had a liver transplant and are scheduled for an MRI, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether using a machine to keep donated livers healthy (normothermic machine perfusion) can allow more people to receive a transplant sooner. It is for patients who are already on the waiting list for a liver and have a moderately severe MELD score (25 or less).
This trial compares two ways to monitor how well your heart is pumping during liver transplant surgery. One method uses a thin tube in your blood vessels, and the other uses an ultrasound probe placed in your food pipe.
This study looks at a new way to monitor blood flow in tiny blood vessels during liver transplant surgery. It may help doctors better understand how well blood is reaching tissues during the operation.
This study uses a special light-based device (near-infrared spectroscopy) to measure fat in the liver without needing extra invasive tests. It may help doctors better assess liver health before transplant or surgery.
This study looks at how special lab tests from tiny tissue samples (microarrays) could help guide diagnosis and treatment in people who receive a liver transplant. It may help doctors better understand what’s going on and choose care more accurately.
