Bridge to Life Ltd.

🌟 Celebrating 2024: A Year of Milestones in Organ Transplantation As the year draws to a close, we want to reflect on a remarkable journey filled with achievements that support the transplantation community. ✨ Over 5,000 liver perfusions globally using our VitaSmart™ system. 🤝 A unique collaboration with ULS Coimbra to improve liver preservation. 📊Groundbreaking data presented at international congresses, confirming the value of HOPE in transplantation. From new milestones to innovative research, 2024 has been a testament to the power of collaboration and dedication. Explore more about these achievements and what’s ahead. #Transplantation #Innovation #HOPE #VitaSmart #BridgeToLife https://lnkd.in/gcr9MJJV

Bridge to Life Acquires VitaSmart™ Hypothermic Oxygenated Machine Perfusion System from Medica S.p.A. We are thrilled to now own the VitaSmart™ Hypothermic Oxygenated Machine Perfusion System, a proven technology that has empowered European clinicians to implement HOPE protocols with ease and efficiency. This acquisition positions us to expand access to this transformative technology for U.S. transplant centers, organ procurement organizations, and, most importantly, patients awaiting viable livers. #TransplantInnovation #OrganPreservation #BridgeToLife #VitaSmart https://lnkd.in/dy5yXU2c

🌟 HOPE for the Week: HOPE vs. SCS: Immunomodulation in Liver Transplantation Recent research sheds light on a more physiologic approach to liver preservation. A pilot study exploring Hypothermic Oxygenated Machine Perfusion (HOPE) versus Static Cold Storage (SCS) highlights potential immune benefits of HOPE. Findings reveal HOPE reduces liver infiltration by certain innate immune cells, suggesting it may help mitigate ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI), a significant challenge in liver transplantation. While further studies are needed, these insights pave the way for innovations aimed at improving outcomes for transplant patients.

Prof. Luciano de Carlis will host the XVII CORSO DI AGGIORNAMENTO IN CHIRURGIA EPATICA in Milan this week. A great looking programme: 👀https://lnkd.in/etGxHneW #BridgetoLife are proud to support this annual event.

[Retour en images] Clap de fin pour notre congrès annuel ! 📣 La semaine dernière, la Ville de Marseille accueillait l’ensemble des experts francophones du prélèvement et de la transplantation d’organes et de tissus dans le cadre de notre congrès annuel. 👥 Il a réuni, dans l'enceinte du Palais du Pharo, plus de 500 spécialistes nationaux et internationaux (une affluence record !), ainsi que des associations de patients (Renaloo : la voix des malades du rein, Association Trans-Forme, le collectif Greffes+, FRANCE REIN, Vaincre la Mucoviscidose, FRANCE ADOT Fédération, ...) et des représentants des instances, dont Marine Jeantet Directrice Générale de l'AGENCE DE LA BIOMEDECINE. 👩⚕️ 👨⚕️ Sous la présidence locale des Professeurs MOAL Valerie et Philippe Brunet (respectivement Responsable de l’activité médicale de Transplantation Rénale et Chef du Centre de Néphrologie et Transplantation Rénale de l’APHM (Assistance Publique - Hopitaux de Marseille), ce congrès a été le théâtre d’échanges d’expertises, d’ateliers et de présentations scientifiques de haut niveau, notamment lors de la journée organisée par la SFT Juniors. 💚 Cet évènement a également constitué le point de départ d’une campagne de sensibilisation de la population marseillaise, avec une conférence publique, en présence de médecins experts des Hôpitaux de Marseille, de patients greffés et de leurs familles, mais aussi de lycéens. Riche en témoignages, projection de documentaires, échanges avec le public, … Cet évènement, organisé en partenariat avec l'AP-HM, MProvence, l'Agence de la biomédecine, Aix-Marseille Université, France Bleu Provence et Région Sud - Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, a fait salle comble ! 🗣️ Notre nouveau Président, le Pr Antoine Thierry, a fait part de son souhait de renouveler cette initiative lors de chacun de nos congrès, à commencer par Grenoble, où nous vous donnons rendez-vous en décembre 2025 ! 📻 📺 🗞️ Ce congrès a eu un exceptionnel écho médiatique, avec des retombées dans de nombreux médias régionaux (France 3 Provence, La Marseillaise, l'Essentiel Marseille, ...) mais aussi nationaux, dont France Inter et La Croix ! 🙏 Nous remercions l'ensemble des partenaires et soutiens de notre congrès : Astellas Pharma - Chiesi France - Grifols - Hansa Biopharma - MSD France - Takeda - AstraZeneca - Bristol Myers Squibb - E3 CORTEX - Graft Smart - Laboratoires Nephrotek - Predict4Health - Sandoz - Sanofi - SÊMEIA - SERB Pharmaceuticals - Therakos - Aferetica S.r.l. - Bridge to Life Ltd. - IGL - Organ Recovery Systems - XVIVO - Le Courrier de la Transplantation - Edimark - Transplant International

🌟 HOPE for the Week: Exciting research in kidney preservation highlights the potential of Oxygenated Hypothermic Machine Perfusion (HMPO2) to enhance transplant outcomes. A recent study using a porcine DCD model revealed that increasing oxygenation levels during HMPO2 significantly boosts tissue oxygen partial pressures (tpO2) and ATP resynthesis, critical markers of organ health. The findings suggest that kidneys preserved with 100% oxygenation during HMPO2 achieve superior results compared to lower oxygen levels or static cold storage. By better supporting aerobic metabolism, this innovation could improve the viability of donor organs and expand access to life-saving transplants.
