Liver transplant outcomes of deceased donor types following normothermic machine perfusion: A meta-analysis
Presumed high-risk DBD and DCD grafts achieve excellent transplant results after viability assessment during NMP. Stringency of viability criteria correlated with lower DCD utilization rates. More research is needed to elucidate evidence-based assessment criteria that correlate directly to transplant outcomes.
