Endothelial Dysfunction in Steatotic Human Donor Livers: A Pilot Study of the Underlying Mechanism During Subnormothermic Machine Perfusion
Background. Steatosis is a major risk factor for primary nonfunction in liver transplantations. Steatotic livers recover poorly from ischemia reperfusion injury, in part due to alterations in the microcirculation, although the exact mechanism is unclear. In this study, we tested if there were any al...
