Abstract

Patients with fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) often die awaiting liver transplantation.Extracorporeal liver perfusion (ECLP) has been proposed as a method of “bridging” such patients to transplantation. We report the largest experience to date of ECLP using human and porcine livers in patients with acute liver failure.
