nts with three or more organ failures face a mortality rate of more than 90%. Many cannot survive liver transplantation. Extracorporeal support systems like MARS (Baxter, Deerfield, IL) and Prometheus (Bad Homburg, Germany) have shown promise but fall short in bridging patients to transplantation. A novel Artificial Multi-organ Replacement System (AMOR) was developed at the University of Washington Medical Center. AMOR removes protein-bound toxins through a combination of albumin dialysis, a charcoal sorbent column, and a novel rinsing method to prevent sorbent column saturation. It removes excess fluid through hemodialysis. Ten AOCLF patients with over three organ failures were treated by the AMOR system. All patients showed significant clinical improvement. Fifty percent of the cohort received liver transplants or recovered liver function. AMOR was successful in removing large amounts of excess body fluid, which regular hemodialysis could not. AMOR is cost-effective and user-friendly

The occurrence of complications during the use of ECMO support as a BTT was associated with unfavorable outcomes in LTs. Close monitoring and the proper management of these complications may be important to achieve better outcomes in patients using ECMO support as a BTT.

Extracorporeal circulation (ECC) systems, including cardiopulmonary bypass, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation have been an irreplaceable part of the cardiothoracic surgeries, and treatment of critically ill patients with respiratory and/or cardiac failure for more than half a century. During the recent decades, the concept of extracorporeal circulation has been extended to isolated machine…
