Clinical Trial of New Hypothermic Oxygenated Perfusion System Versus Static Cold Storage

Lead Sponsor:

University of Bologna

Conditions:

Liver Diseases

Kidney Diseases

Eligibility:

All Genders

18-100 years

Phase:

NA

Brief Summary

With the present study the investigators will evaluate the benefit of end-ischemic HOPE on ECD grafts (livers and kidneys) as compared to SCS. Organs will be perfused through a recently developed mach...

Detailed Description

Extended criteria donors (ECD) are widely utilized due to organ shortage, but this may increase the risk of graft dysfunction and of poorer outcomes. Hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (HOPE) is a rece...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • For kidneys: donor age ≥ 60 years or 50-59 years with two or more of the sequent risk factors: death due to cerebrovascular accident, history of hypertension, donor serum creatinine \> 1.5 mg/dL, cold ischemia time (CIT) \> 20 h;
  • For livers: donors with hemodynamic deterioration, donor age \> 65 years, donor body mass index \> 30 kg/m2, serum bilirubin \> 3 mg/dl, AST or ALT above three times the upper reference threshold, sodium \> 165 mmol/l, intensive care unit (ICU) stay \> 7 days, steatosis \> 40%, CIT \> 12 h.

Exclusion

  • Donor age ≤18 years;
  • Donors after circulatory death (DCD) will be excluded, because Italian law requires 20 minutes of "no touch period" before death declaration, causing prolonged warm ischemia and subsequent mandatory perfusion of the organ.
  • Split-liver recipients, liver transplantation (LT) for acute liver failure, pre-emptive renal transplant, dual kidney transplantation, and patients with intra-operative surgical complications before the organ implantation.
