Dr. Ankur V. on the Advantages of Hypothermic Oxygenated Machine Perfusion for Liver Transplantation

Dr. Ankur Vagadiya on the Advantages of Hypothermic Oxygenated Machine Perfusion for Liver Transplantation In this video, Dr. Ankur Vagadiya, a liver transplant surgeon, discusses the use of hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (HOPE) for liver transplantation. He highlights the increasing demand for liver transplants in India and the challenges associated with using extended criteria donors. He then explains how HOPE can help reduce ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) and improve post-transplant outcomes. Key benefits of HOPE: Reduces IRI: HOPE reduces the accumulation of waste products and improves cellular metabolism, thereby minimizing damage caused by IRI. Improves post-transplant outcomes: By reducing IRI, HOPE can lead to lower rates of complications such as acute kidney injury (AKI), respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and blood loss. Increases use of extended criteria donors: HOPE allows for the safe use of livers from older donors, donors with fatty livers, and deceased donors, potentially increasing the number of available organs. Lightweight and portable: Compared to normothermic machine perfusion, HOPE devices are more portable and require less complex logistics, making them more accessible in various settings. Overall, Dr. Vagadiya emphasizes the potential of HOPE to address the organ shortage crisis and improve outcomes for liver transplant recipients.
