Bridge to Life Showcases Innovations in Liver Transplantation
Bridge to Life™ Ltd, a frontrunner in organ preservation and perfusion technology, is excited to announce its participation in the prestigious International Congress of the International Liver Transplantation Society (ILTS). This annual conference is set to occur in Singapore from May 28 to May 31, 2025. The event will feature the presentation of nine notable abstracts, among which are two critical late-breaker studies focusing on the application of hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (HOPE) in liver transplants, including unique contributions aimed at pediatric patients.
Highlighted Abstracts on Hypothermic Oxygenated Perfusion
Among the highlights of the conference, the late-breaker presentation titled Impact of Machine Perfusion on Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Liver Transplantation: A Donor Age-Stratified Analysis is anticipated to take center stage. This research examines the implications of machine perfusion technology across different donor age groups and sets a foundation for improving transplant outcomes.
Another significant late-breaker presentation is Machine Perfusion in Liver Transplantation: A Game Changer for Middle-Volume Centers? This study investigates the potential transformational effects of machine perfusion in institutions with moderate transplant volume, providing insights that could reshape practices in the field.
Expanding the Scope of HOPE in Transplantation
The contributions to the framework of HOPE continue with the abstract titled Use of HOPE Machine Perfusion for Transplantation in Unusual Scenarios - A Case Report. This report illustrates novel case applications of HOPE technology, demonstrating its flexibility and adaptability across various transplantation situations. Further presentations will delve into pediatric applications, with findings from Hypothermic Oxygenated Perfusion (HOPE) in Pediatric Liver Transplantation: Preliminary Results. This will provide vital early findings shedding light on outcomes in younger patients receiving liver transplants.
Additionally, the research HOPE for Hepatocellular Carcinoma - Recurrence Analysis in Patients Transplanted with Grafts Submitted to Hypothermic Oxygenated Perfusion will analyze cancer recurrence rates in patients, offering potential pathways for better management and outcomes in this challenging demographic.
Connecting with the Community Through Workshops and Symposiums
Bridge to Life is not only focused on presenting research but is also committed to sharing knowledge and practical skills through participation in the Hands-On Liver Machine Perfusion Workshop on May 28, 2025. This workshop serves as an essential learning platform, allowing professionals to gain hands-on experience with advanced perfusion technologies.
Moreover, Bridge to Life will sponsor an impactful symposium on May 29, at 3:00 PM SST (UTC+8), titled Expanding the Boundaries of Hypothermic Oxygenated Perfusion: Addressing Challenges and Opportunities in the Asia-Pacific Region. Esteemed speakers, such as Dr. Sonal Asthana from Aster Hospitals and Dr. Rebeca Sanabria Mateos from Queen Elizabeth Hospital, will share critical insights and strategies for overcoming hurdles in transplant care and enhancing patient outcomes.
