A study revealed that normothermic regional perfusion leads to better outcomes for liver transplantation from donors after circulatory death (DCD). This technique helps improve the quality of DCD liver allografts. By perfusing the liver with oxygenated blood and nutrients while maintaining it at normal body temperature, the viability of the organ is preserved, resulting in improved transplant success rates. The study highlights the importance of this method in improving outcomes for liver transplant patients.
