In a recent paper, Clavien et al. demonstrate the successful transplant of a sub-optimal donor liver using multi-day normothermic machine perfusion. This technological milestone opens up exciting new avenues for liver transplantation with the potential to ameliorate donor organ shortages and permit targeted therapeutic interventions.
