What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The ARANMP-LT study is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, parallel-group, non-inferiority clinical trial designed to evaluate whether avoiding graft recooling after normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) improves early outcomes following liver transplantation. Although graft recooling before implantation is common practice, experimental and preliminary clinical evidence suggests that abrupt temperature changes may contribute to ischemia-reperfusion injury. Adult recipients of deceased-donor liver grafts preserved with NMP or sequential hypothermic-normothermic machine perfusion (SHNMP) will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either standard graft implantation with recooling using cold preservation solution (control group) or implantation without recooling using a room-temperature 5% albumin flush immediately before reperfusion (intervention group). The primary objective is to compare th
