Optimizing Organ Utilization: Machine Perfusion, Donor Selection & Graft Outcomes

About this session

This session highlights advances in expanding and optimizing the donor organ pool through machine perfusion, refined donor selection, and improved risk prediction. Presentations span the transplant pathway—from DCD procurement decisions and normothermic machine perfusion strategies to graft-threatening complications and downstaging protocols for HCC—with an emphasis on interpretable modeling and translational interventions.
