Abstract Donor steatosis represents a well-known risk factor for primary non-function, early allograft dysfunction, and biliary complications after liver transplantation (LT) [1,2] . Recently, machine perfusion (MP) technology has been implemented in the clinical practice, with the primary intent to assess the graft quality and to optimize the organ selection process [3] . A limited number of articles has been published specifically investigated the role of MP in steatotic livers [4–10] , with few of them looking at the role of hypothermic MP.
