Core Tip

Core Tip: Custodio et al studied the duration of a novel warm ischemia, finding no differences in liver primary dysfunction among long and short times. Longer ischemia time is known to increase primary dysfunction probability, so this contradictory finding opens the door for an unforeseen opportunity that can improve liver transplantation outcomes.
