    Optimal liver preservation for transplantation was studied. Hypothermic pulsatile perfusion with TP-V solution demonstrated superior liver function and histology compared to other methods, making it the recommended choice for 24-hour preservation.

    Area of Science:

    • Transplantation Biology
    • Organ Preservation
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Effective liver preservation is crucial for successful liver transplantation.
    • Current methods like hypothermic storage (HS) and hypothermic pulsatile perfusion (HPP) require optimization.
    • Various preservation solutions impact graft viability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the efficacy of hypothermic storage (HS) and hypothermic pulsatile perfusion (HPP) using different preservation solutions.
    • To evaluate liver function and histology after 24-hour preservation using an isolated normothermic perfusion model (LIPM).
    • To identify the optimal preservation method and solution for 24-hour liver preservation.

    Main Methods:

    • Canine livers were preserved for 24 hours using HS or HPP with TP-V, modified Collins, Belzer, or albumin solutions.

  • Preserved livers were tested in an isolated normothermic perfusion model (LIPM) for 3 hours.
  • Liver function was assessed by analyzing perfusate biochemical markers (LDH, SGOT, ATP levels, etc.) and performing HIDA scans.
  • Histologic examination evaluated cellular and organ damage.

    • Main Results:

    • Livers preserved with TP-V solution (via HS or HPP) showed superior outcomes compared to modified Collins, Belzer, or albumin solutions.
    • The TP-V solution demonstrated better preservation of liver function and reduced cellular/organ damage.
    • Hypothermic pulsatile perfusion (HPP) with TP-V solution yielded the best overall functional response and histologic results.

    Conclusions:

    • Hypothermic pulsatile perfusion (HPP) using the TP-V solution is the preferred method for 24-hour liver preservation.
    • TP-V solution offers significant advantages over other tested preservation solutions.
    • This study provides evidence for improved liver preservation strategies in transplantation.
