Interventions

Group 1: If machine perfusion is planned (dual hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion/DHOPE), the donor organ is first prepared “backtable”. A tissue sample - a 4 cm long cylinder - is taken from a

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary study endpoint is to predict liver function via ICG clearance after machine perfusion via an extracorporeal function test of the liver using a procedure already established as a preoperative liver function test.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Further study endpoints, such as postoperative complications (severity > 3 according to Clavien-Dindo classification), 30-day mortality, acute rejection, re-transplantation, EAD, primary non-function (PNF) should be recorded and with the examined parameters from the samples taken can be correlated.
