A meta-analysis published in International Journal of Surgery compared hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (HOPE) vs normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) for extended criteria donor (ECD) livers, HOPE vs dual hypothermic machine perfusion (D-HOPE), and whether to pump back-to-base or initiate at the donor site. 🏥

Some high-certainty evidence findings include:
☑️ HOPE reduced incidence of early allograft disfunction (EAD), major complications, and acute cellular rejection vs. SCS.
☑️ Long-term HOPE (upper 50% percentile of perfusion to preservation time ratio) was associated with lower risk EAD, major complications, non-anastomotic biliary stricture (NAS), and primary non-function (PNF) vs. SCS.

Overall, the authors concluded that in ECD liver transplantation, HOPE is more effective than NMP for preventing EAD, total biliary complications, non-anastomotic biliary strictures, and acute cellular rejection.

Just over two years ago, I joined Organ Recovery Systems as a Clinical and Technical Advisor in Canada. I previously worked in pharmaceutical sales with a specialization in cardiovascular and respiratory medicine, where I won a President’s Club sales award for my territory.
Based out of Ontario, I provide resources for all things LifePort: from training and troubleshooting, to ensuring Canadian OPOs and transplant centers have everything they need for their lifesaving mission. One of the most rewarding parts of my job is seeing clients become excited to use LifePort as part of their transplant programs.
During my time in the organ transplant industry, I’ve enjoyed meeting and interacting with transplant recipients and others involved with organ transplants. I now have a greater understanding and appreciation of the term “gift of life.”
Participating in Gift of Life’s Howie’s House with the ORS team has allowed me to combine my passions for cooking and organ donation. I also enjoy sports, playing plenty of golf and football in my free time. 💜

🤓ORS Strategic Account Manager Virginia Liuti had a fantastic time training NORA East Coast Operations Managers in Waltham, Massachusetts last week, where they learned about protocols for transporting LifePort Kidney Transporter in their ground vehicles and in the cabin of commercial airliners. It’s always inspiring to collaborate with partners who are equally committed to protecting the gift of life from donor heroes. 💝 We look forward to conducting even more trainings for NORA throughout the country!
