Cool Perspectives – Pushing the Boundaries of Liver Perfusion
Thursday 2 May, 15:15-16:15, Woodway III – Sponsored symposium
The scarcity of donated organs suitable for transplantation continues to remain a challenge. To continue increased utilization of available donated livers, machine perfusion will be key. Join us in exploring how cutting-edge advancements help push the boundaries of liver perfusion at our symposium, Cool Perspectives. During this symposium you will learn from experts as they share the latest research, their clinical experience and give a glimpse of how the unique flexibility of XVIVO’s machine perfusion technology can help increase utilization of donor livers.

Friday 3 May, 12:30-13:30, Woodway III, Sponsored Symposium
Around the globe, machine perfusion is changing the way we transplant organs, transforming practice on a scale not seen for decades.
The advantages of normothermic machine preservation have been studied over the past decade but the extent of its effect on clinical practice and the economics of organ transplantation is just now coming into focus. In this session, we will explore how three institutions, operating on three continents with marked differences in geography, patient populations, case volumes, staffing models and transplant economics, have leveraged normothermic machine perfusion to address prevailing local challenges. Discover how this technology can benefit liver transplant programs of all types and walk away inspired by what it might do within your own program.
