Liver Transplant Outcomes With Machine Preservation in Europe
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study collects information about how livers do after transplantation when they've been preserved using machine perfusion—a technique that keeps donor livers in better condition before surgery. Researchers want to understand which preservation methods work best to improve transplant success across Europe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You received a liver transplant from a deceased donor (not a living donor)
- You were at least 18 years old when you had your transplant
- Your donor's liver was preserved using machine perfusion or standard cold storage
- Your transplant was part of routine clinical care, not an experimental research study comparing different preservation methods
- At least 12 months have passed since your liver transplant

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new way to preserve donated livers (called machine perfusion) after they are recovered from donors who died from circulatory causes. It aims to see if this method helps the liver work better before transplant.
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 tests a new way to preserve donated livers with a machine called eXVIVO before transplant. It is for adults receiving their first liver transplant and aims to see if this preservation method improves outcomes.
This trial tests whether adding a hormone called secretin to a machine that preserves donated livers outside the body can improve liver quality and transplant outcomes. You may qualify if you're an adult receiving a standard deceased-donor liver transplant that needs special preservation techniques.
This study looks at how well people do in the long run after liver transplant using donor livers that were preserved in a specific machine called DHOPE for more than 4 hours. It may help doctors understand whether this preservation method leads to better transplant outcomes over time.
This study tests a new way to preserve donated livers using a machine that keeps the organ cool and oxygenated before transplant. It may help improve how well the liver works after the surgery.
