Surgeons also have no reliable way of testing if they will work properly before the transplant. However the machine, the result of more than 20 years of development, is able to perform tests
to see how well a liver would function after transplant. While the trial only examined livers which would be deemed suitable for transplant under standard practice, the technology could
allow surgeons to consider a wider pool of donor organs. This could lead to the use of organs currently considered "untransplantable" and increase the number available for those on
the waiting list, the researchers said. The authors concluded: "This study describes the formal clinical evaluation of a novel technology in liver transplantation, and could herald the
start of a new era of intervention during organ preservation. "It represents a first, necessary step in demonstrating that normothermic machine perfusion is feasible, safe and
effective in clinical practice; the fact that the study has definitively met its primary endpoint should now enable the exploration of the technology's wider potential."
