Restrictive Fluid Management In Liver Transplantation (REFIL)
Hypothesis: A Canadian multicentre clinical trial is feasible. Study Design: Multicenter internal pilot parallel arm randomized controlled trial. Study population: Patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD) undergoing a liver transplantation, not meeting any exclusion criteria. Primary feasibility endpoint: An overall recruitment rate ≥ 4 patients/month across all four participating sites. …
Mediterranean Diet Post-liver Transplantation
The purpose of this study is to study the effects of a structured Mediterranean dietary program on prevention of weight gain, promotion of heart health and prevention of fatty liver disease after liver transplantation.
EBD RCT Trial in Living Donor Liver Transplantation
This study was designed to demonstrate incidence of biliary complication rates after living donor liver transplantation according to the implantation of external biliary drainage throug duct-to-duct anastomosis site.
Intraoperatory Hemodynamic Monitoring in OLT
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two different hemodynamic monitoring techniques during orthotopic liver transplantation. The main question it aims to answer is: if using a different hemodynamic monitoring might help reducing the intraoperative hypotension time. Participants will be randomized to one of two arms of hemodynamic …
En Bloc Resection of the Liver and Pancreas With a "Non-touch" Technique Followed by Liver Transplantation to Improve the Overall Survival in Patients With Non-resectable Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma Beyond the Mayo Clinic Transplant Criteria
Surgery for hilar cholangiocarcinoma (phCCA) remains a significant challenge. The minority of patients who are eligible for resection are exposed to high procedure-related morbidity and mortality, and despite apparent R0 resection, cancer recurrence is common. The benefit of R1 resection compared to the best palliative chemotherapy has been questioned. The …
Immunometabolism of Machine Perfusion Strategies
There are not enough donated livers for everybody who needs one, and as a result, thousands of patients worldwide are waiting for liver transplants, with many dying while waiting for a life-saving organ. One reason for this shortage is that some usable livers from donors who are considered of high …
Tissue Analysis of Liver Grafts as a Predictor of Transplant Outcome.
Despite the good clinical results in terms of outcome with the application of HOPE prior to liver transplantation, very little is still known about the phenotypic and molecular changes that occur during perfusion/preservation during HOPE, particularly with regard to endothelial trophism and activation. Delving into these aspects would be very …
Comparing Montiroing Cardiac Index by Transpulmonary Thermodilution and Transesophageal Echocardiography During Liver Transplantation
Liver transplantation poses challenges due to hemodynamic changes throughout different surgical phases. Monitoring devices are essential for therapeutic adjustments. Transpulmonary thermodilution and transesophageal echocardiography are commonly used, but thermodilution may have limitations depending on the surgery. This study aims to compare cardiac index variations between thermodilution and transesophageal echocardiography during …
Transplanting Lungs From Uncontrolled Donation After Circulatory Death
The study team developed an uncontrolled donation after circulatory death (uDCD) protocol that preserves lungs for just over 3 hours after death using positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) and supplemental oxygen. The study will assess lung uDCD program safety by continuous review of operations/clinical records from each case activation and …
Assessment of a Quantra-guided Transfusion Algorithm in Liver Transplantation
Liver transplantation carries a substantial risk of bleeding, making precise haemostasis control essential, although assessing coagulation remains challenging. Quantra, a bedside viscoelastic testing device using sonorheometric methods, offers an innovative approach to guiding haemostatic management during surgery. The study aims to determine whether a Quantra-guided transfusion can reduce transfusion and …
