Abstract
Background

The current imbalance between donor supply and patients on the waiting list for liver transplantation (LT) is significant. To resolve this situation, marginal organs, such as those from type 2 donation after cardiac death (DCD2), are being considered.

Methods

In the present article, we present the first LT with a new protocol consisting in normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) and normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) for a type 2 DCD graft initially rejected for LT.

Results

After a favorable evolution with NMP (improved macroscopic appearance of the graft, acid–base equilibrium control and bile production), the transplantation was performed without major incidents. The evolution of the graft and patient were favorable. After 3 months, cholangiography showed no signs of ischemic cholangiopathy.

Conclusions

Three-month patient and graft survival are encouraging, but more cases are needed to test the clinical efficacy of the new protocol.

Resumen
Introducción

Hoy en día, el desequilibrio entre el número de donantes y los pacientes en lista de espera para trasplante hepático (TH) hace necesaria la utilización de órganos con criterios expandidos, como los de donación en asistolia tipo 2.

Métodos

Presentamos el primer TH realizado mediante un protocolo de perfusión regional normotérmica y máquina de perfusión normotérmica para un injerto de donación en asistolia tipo 2 inicialmente descartado para TH.

Resultados

Tras una evolución favorable en máquina de perfusión normotérmica (mejoría del aspecto macroscópico del injerto, control del equilibrio ácido-base y producción de bilis), el TH se realizó sin incidencias. Después de 3 meses la evolución del paciente y del injerto son correctas, sin signos de colangiopatía isquémica en la colangiografía trans-Kehr.

Conclusiones

La supervivencia del injerto y del receptor invitan al optimismo. Sin embargo, son necesarios más casos con el objetivo de verificar la eficacia clínica del nuevo protocolo.
