In the latest issue of Transplant International, Rossignol and colleagues (Lyon, France) studied the impact of hypothermic oxygenated perfusion on ex situ split grafts (HOPE-Split) in paediatric liver transplantation. Compared with static cold storage ex situ partial grafts, HOPE-Split had significantly shorter cold ischaemia times, less post-reperfusion syndrome and a lower ischaemia-reperfusion injury score. The

Maximise Your Impact with ESOT!
Improving transplant patient outcomes is at the forefront of our mission and, we are eager to collaborate with research teams who share the common goal of improving the lives of those hindered by inequitable access to life-changing treatments and procedures. Here’s why our involvement can be a game-changer for your project: Unmatched Expertise: With a
NEW Workshop in Italy!
Next Monday, June 10th, we will be hosting an event in Padova for all our Italian friends and colleagues. Qualità di vita dopo il trapianto di fegato: un seminario ESOT dedicato ai pazienti/ Quality of life after liver transplantation: an ESOT seminar for patients This workshop focuses on the Quality of Life (QOL) outcomes in
In memoriam: Paul McMaster
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Prof Paul McMaster, the legendary English surgeon who founded the Liver Unit in Birmingham, UK, pioneered liver transplantation in the 70s and 80s working with Sir Roy Calne and was one of the founding fathers of ELITA and a President of ESOT.
New resource available on Transplant Live: Management of CMV in solid organ transplant recipients
We are pleased to announce that our latest workshop, titled “Managing CMV in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients” is now available on ESOT Transplant Live [when in Transplant Live please go to Courses]. This educational programme aims to enhance the management of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections among transplant recipients, which can pose a significant challenge post-surgery. The
Survey on Quality of Life after Liver Transplantation
ESOT, as part of the project “Enhancing Quality of Life Post Liver Transplant ” is launching a survey to deepen our understanding of the needs of those requiring or having had a liver transplant. We warmly invite all members of the liver transplant community to participate in this effort.
ESOT manual for clinical practice guidelines
This handbook formalises the processes associated with the preparation of ESOT CPGs, including selecting topics for new guidelines, writing and reviewing approval, dissemination, and updating. Moreover, it defines the governance of the process.
Mitochondria and Graft Viability in Liver Preservation
In the latest issue of Transplant International, Meszaros et al. assessed liver biopsies during static cold storage for their viability and mitochondrial bioenergetics using real-time confocal imaging analysis and high-resolution respirometry. Both indicators were found to be predictive of liver transplant outcomes, more specifically of early allograft dysfunction.

Tribute to a founding father of ELITA, honouring a pioneer in European liver and intestinal transplantation
Sir Roy Calne described himself as a ‘somewhat rebellious’ character. He stood the tide by performing many ‘firsts’, firsts that were previously dismissed as impossible. He was the first in Europe to prove that patients could survive following a liver transplant.
