1 In-situ v Normothermic Regional Perfusion for Abdominal Organs ANGEL RUIZ M.D. DONATION AND TRANSPLNAT COORDINATION UNIT MEDICAL DIRECTION HOSPITAL CLÍNIC DE BARCELONA

2 Introduction Donation after circulatory death (cdcd or udcd) has become a significant source of organ donors Warm ischemic damage increases the risk of primary non-function and a suboptimal long-term graft function Normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) has been proposed as an alternative to super-rapid recovery (SRR) to minimize the impact of warm ischemia and improve functional restoration and organ outcome

3 Warm Ischemia and DCD

4 SUPER-RAPID RECOVERY Direct In situ Perfusion IN SITU PERFUSIÓN Doble baloon & triple lumen catheter Doble baloon & triple lumen catheter Venous Dreinage

5 REGIONAL PRESERVATION (nrp or hrp) Normothermic Recirculation 1-4h (6h) with Pump maintenance > L/m 2 Continuous gasometric and ionic control (every 30 min) Hepatic and renal biochemical Control Hemogram Control Reheparinization (1,5 mg/kg/90min)

Prospective cohort study including all potential cdcd liver donors evaluated in Spain and the liver transplants that resulted between 06/2012 and 12/2016, with follow-up ending 12/2017 Recovery method determined by individual donor hospitals: NRP with pre-mortem cannulation NRP with post-mortem cannulation Super rapid recovery

38 Conclusions The use of post-mortem NRP appears to: In liver transplantation Reduce postoperative biliary complications, Ischemic-type biliary lesions, and graft loss. Allow for successful transplantation of livers, udcd and cdcd, even from cdcd donors of advanced age. In Kidney transplantation No differences in DGF incidence and immediate renal function recovery between NRP and SRR Comparable short-term survival rates Better mid and long-term renal function for NRP donor grafts In Pancreas and Heart transplantation Be a valid methodology to obtain valid organs Better graft survival rates
