- Prolonged dual hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (DHOPE-PRO) increased the percentage of daytime liver transplants from 48.4% to 84.6%.
- DHOPE-PRO extended median preservation duration from 2.1 to 10.2 hours, with total preservation up to 31.4 hours.
- The use of DHOPE-PRO showed no association with increased postoperative complications, such as acute kidney injury.
- One-year patient and graft survival rates remained similar to those with short-DHOPE, with survival exceeding 90% across subgroups.
- The study suggests DHOPE-PRO facilitates daytime transplant scheduling without compromising clinical outcomes.
