Blood Handling During Liver Transplant Surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether removing the first blood that flows back into a transplanted liver helps patients recover better and have healthier liver function after surgery. Researchers will compare outcomes in patients undergoing their first liver transplant at this hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older

- You can provide written informed consent yourself (or have a legal representative do so)
- This is your first liver transplant (not a repeat transplant)
- You do not have kidney failure requiring dialysis
- You are not receiving a liver from a living donor or a combined organ transplant

This study observes how blood circulates through your body and organs in the hours right after liver transplant surgery. Researchers want to understand patterns that might help doctors manage recovery better and spot problems early.
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 study tests ways to reduce the need for blood transfusions during major liver surgery. Researchers will track patients undergoing large liver resections to see if new blood-management techniques can help you need fewer transfusions while staying safe.
This trial studies how doctors manage bleeding before, during, and after liver transplant surgery. The goal is to improve safety and outcomes for people receiving a new liver.
This study tests whether a special way of moving blood through the donor abdomen before surgery can improve liver (and other organ) transplant quality. It may help because doctors can check how well the liver seems to be working before it’s actually used.
This study is for people with severe liver cirrhosis who are getting a liver transplant from a living donor. It looks at the risk of bleeding or clotting problems after the transplant, to help doctors better manage these risks.
