Effect of a Combined Drug Approach on the Severity of Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury During Liver Transplant

Abstract: ImportanceIn a porcine model of liver transplant, a combined drug approach that targeted the donor graft and graft recipient reduced ischemia-reperfusion injury, a major hurdle to the success of liver transplant.ObjectiveTo assess the effect of a clinical form of a perioperative combined drug approach delivered immediately before implantation to the procured liver and to the liver recipient on the degree of ischemia-reperfusion injury.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis unicentric, investigator-driven, open-… Show more

“…In a 45 min Warm Ischemia Time (WIT) donation after brain death (DBD) porcine model of liver transplantation, a combination of drugs was used for flushing and another combination of drugs was used in the recipient, which decreased the primary non-function of the graft, improved liver function and increased survival [9]. In a recent randomized control trial, following static cold storage, donor’s livers were infused ex-situ with epoprostenol via portal vein; recipients received oral α-tocopherol and melatonin before anesthesia and during the anhepatic and reperfusion phase received intravenous drugs-antithrombin III, infliximab, apotransferrin, recombinant erythropoietin-β, C1-inhibitor, and glutathione [7]. In adult living donor liver transplantation clinical trials, intraoperative dexmedetomidine infusion decreased IRI by suppressing intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) [8].…”

“…Furthermore, anhepatic phases over 100 minutes have a higher incidence of graft dysfunction and worse 1-year patient survival [3], and increased implantation time is associated with poor transplant outcomes due to a rise in the graft temperature [6]. Preclinical animal studies to randomized clinical trials (RCT) have used drugs to precondition the graft before implantation and have treated the recipient to help the graft recover faster upon reperfusion [7][8][9][10]. Using a drug to target the anhepatic phase of graft implantation and treating the recipient with a drug for faster recovery could be a more straightforward and practical approach.…”

“…Meurisse et al performed an RCT to investigate the effect of a combined drug approach targeting the preimplantation liver graft and recipient on severity of ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) during LT. 48 In the combined drug approach group, following static cold preservation, donor livers were infused with epoprostenol at the back table; recipients were given oral α-tocopherol and melatonin prior to anesthesia, and intravenous antithrombin III, infliximab, apotransferrin, recombinant erythropoietin-β, C1-inhibitor, and glutathione during the anhepatic phase and at reperfusion. Of 72 randomized patients, 36 were allocated to each group [a combined drug approach (CDA) group and a standard of care-only (control) group].…”
