Models of viability test on liver grafts receiving SCS or HOPE treatments. (A) Livers were preserved in static cold storage (n = 6) or HOPE (n = 6) for 6 h after 30 min of warm ischemia. Then livers were allowed to cannulate to NMP. Gd-EOB-DTPA was injected 2 h after starting NMP, and bile or blood samples were collected at indicated time points. (B) Representative images of the liver treated with warm ischemia in situ (a), liver graft connected to the ex situ DHOPE in 4 °C (b), and liver graft connected to the ex situ NMP (c).
