Introduction The gold standard in organ preservation is static cold storage (SCS) using
University of Wisconsin solution (UW). Although it is well-known that there is a finite limit to …

The number of donor organs suitable for liver transplantation is restricted by cold
preservation and ischemia–reperfusion injury. We present the first patients transplanted …

Despite improvements in short-term and long-term outcomes of liver transplant patients, the
discrepancy between the number of available livers and transplant candidates continues to …

Objective: To compare conventional low-temperature storage of transplant donor livers
[static cold storage (SCS)] with storage of the organs at physiological body temperature …

The emergence of organ transplantation as an accepted therapeutic procedure is primarily

Machine perfusion (MP) preservation is potentially one of the most significant improvements
in the field of liver transplantation in the last 20 years, and it has been considered a …

With the successful testing of the immunosuppressive effects of cyclosporine in transplant
patients in 1978, the field of organ transplants began an exponential growth. With that, the …

It is well known that the ischemia and the reperfusion processes are distinct
nonimmunological events that negatively impact graft outcome and induce delayed graft …

Current organ preservation methods provide a narrow window (usually< 12 hours) to
