Liver transplantation still represents the only effective treatment for patients with liver failure, but many patients die while awaiting transplantation, even though many attempts have been made to increase the organ procurement rates and to partially support hepatic function in recent years. Our aim was to design an "open" ex vivo perfused liver model to simplify liver support using an isolated porcine liver perfused with arterial and portal blood from the recipient pig, while monitoring the metabolic capacity of the supporting graft. It was possible to perfuse the isolated liver for 6 hours as a bridging procedure with satisfactory hemodynamic homeostasis controlled by software biofeedbacks.
