Traditional liver transplant strategies with cold preservation usually result in ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) to the donor liver. Regular normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) donor livers suffer IRI twice. Here, we aimed to introduce a novel technique called continuous NMP without recooling to avoid a second IRI and its application in livers from extended criteria donors.
