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 machine perfusion (MP) device, from the beginning of back-table procedures till implantation, without increasing CIT. The aim of the study will be demonstrating the ability of HOPE to improve graft function and post-operative outcomes of ECD kidney and liver recipients.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Kidney-Hypothermic oxygenated

Kidney perfusion will be performed through the renal artery at 25-30 mmHg pressure. Flow, pressure and temperature will be monitored and registered on a Universal Serial Bus (USB) memory system during organ perfusion. Gas analysis of the effluent perfusate will be accomplished at the start of perfusion (T0) then every 30 minutes. Two perfusate samples will be collected at the beginning and at the end of perfusion to rule out bacterial or fungal contamination. HOPE will start by flushing the organ at low flow values (20 ml/min) with new oxygenated perfusion fluid during back-table preparation. Organ will be treated with continuous HOPE until transplant. Organ perfusion will be continuously monitored. Minimal perfusion time will be 2 hours for kidneys.

DEVICE

Liver-Hypothermic oxygenated

Liver perfusion will be performed through the portal vein at a 5 mmHg pressure. Flow, pressure and temperature will be monitored and registered on a Universal Serial Bus (USB) memory system during organ perfusion. Gas analysis of the effluent perfusate will be accomplished at the start of perfusion (T0) then every 30 minutes. Two perfusate samples will be collected at the beginning and at the end of perfusion to rule out bacterial or fungal contamination. HOPE will start by flushing the organ at low flow values (30 ml/min) with new oxygenated perfusion fluid during back-table preparation. Organ will be treated with continuous HOPE until transplant. Organ perfusion will be continuously monitored. Minimal perfusion time will be 1 hour for livers.
