Abstract:
With increasing demand for liver transplantation, liver grafts are used from marginal donors who were not considered suitable. This trend toward the use of marginal donors reinforces the need to balance the recipient's condition and graft quality and to perform a liver retrieval process with a proper method for preservation of liver function. Although the issues in organ procurement are debatable, rapid and high pressure perfusion for the aorta only with a cold dissection method can be an optimal method for the successful recipient outcome in liver transplantation using a marginal graft.
