Ex vivo cholangioscopy in liver grafts: a novel technique to assess the biliary tree during organ preservation and machine perfusion: a experimental non-clinical study
We describe the first use of ex vivo cholangioscopy to assess the biliary tree before liver transplantation. This real-time technique can be used to assess biliary trees during cold static storage and NMP. In addition, cholangioscopy-based interventions can be used to better assess intrahepatic bile ducts.
