Normothermic liver preservation, current status and future directions.PURPOSE OF REVIEW
 Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) is an emerging technology for liver preservation.  This review discusses the role of normothermic perfusion as a tool to assess graft viability and as a platform for graft intervention and modification.


 Furthermore, preclinical studies demonstrate tremendous potential for NMP as a method to extend the preservation period, thus improving transplant logistics as well as serve as a platform for graft-targeted interventions to optimize the preservation period.
