Monitoring blood flow during liver transplant surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be scheduled for a liver transplant operation.
- You must be able to give written permission to join the study.
- You must be able to have a sensor placed on your arm during surgery to measure blood flow.

This study looks at new ways to check if a donated liver is healthy before transplantation. By examining tiny tissue samples taken before and after a special cold perfusion treatment, researchers hope to find better markers that predict how well the liver will work after transplant.
This study is testing a way to closely monitor blood flow and pressure during liver transplant surgery to help improve safety and outcomes. It may help patients undergoing a liver transplant.
This study is testing a method to monitor oxygen levels in tissue and blood during major surgery. Researchers want to see if this can help doctors better understand how the body is coping during the operation, which might lead to improved patient care.
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 trial uses a near-infrared light device (NIRS) to monitor blood flow in the new tissue after free flap surgery for head and neck cancer. It helps doctors check that the flap is healing well.
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.
