In a randomized trial of 60 valve-surgery patients, adenosine added to terminal warm-blood aortic root reperfusion was associated with more intraoperative defibrillation and antiarrhythmic
An updated review of 20 observational studies links normothermic regional perfusion to fewer ischemic biliary complications after controlled DCD liver transplantation. Ischemic cholangiopathy risk
A retrospective review of 75 abdominal NRP procedures compared intra-abdominal with descending thoracic cannulation. Thoracic access was associated with shorter cannulation time, higher circuit
Normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) can increase utilization of organs donated after circulatory death, but implementation varies across U.S. organ procurement organizations (OPOs). Interviews with
This case report describes the first known heart-liver-kidney transplant for AL amyloidosis using organs recovered from a donation-after-circulatory-death donor with thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion.
This preclinical rodent liver study tested whether Poloxamer 188 and Ficoll PM70 could reduce red blood cell hemolysis during normothermic machine perfusion. Both polymers
This bibliometric analysis reviews 372 studies on normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) from 2014–2025, showing rapid growth in research and global adoption. The United States
This large UNOS registry study of 8,489 DCD liver transplants (2010–2024) found that shorter donor time to death (TTD) was associated with worse graft
This single-center retrospective study evaluated 422 pulmonary fibrosis patients undergoing bilateral lung transplantation between 2012 and 2025. After adopting a more liberal elective intraoperative
