✦ Synopsis

As observed by Jeon and Ranjan, 1 suboptimal donor livers are an essential resource for liver transplantation (LT) candidates. In our prospective randomized study, 2 the harvesting technique showed a relevant prognostic impact on post-LT outcome when suboptimal livers were used. Observations from Jeon and Ranjan, however, give us the opportunity to further consider our results:

Livers exposed to warm ischemia (WI) before transplantation are at risk for primary nonfunction (PNF), graft dysfunction, and ischemic biliary strictures, all associated with ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI). Our multifactorial approach, Leuven drug protocol (LDP), has been shown to reduce these ef
