BACKGROUND: Utilization of grafts from donors after cardiac death (DCD) greatly expands
the organ pool. However, implementation of such a strategy requires the development of …

Organ transplantation provides the best available therapy for a myriad of medical conditions,
including end‐stage renal disease, hepatic failure and type I diabetes mellitus. The current …

Abstract Purpose of the Review Machine perfusion (MP) is a novel technology recently
introduced in liver transplantation, redefining the current practice of organ preservation and …

AIMS: The increasing shortage of donor organs has led to a focus on extended criteria
donors, including the non–heart-beating donor (NHBD). An optimal preservation method is …

Despite increasing donor numbers, waiting lists and pre‐transplant mortality continue to
grow in many countries. The number of donor organs suitable for liver transplantation is …

Background The use of grafts from donors after cardiac death (DCD) would greatly
contribute to the expansion of the donor organ pool. However, the implementation of such a …

In donation after circulatory death (DCD),(thoraco) abdominal regional perfusion (RP)
restores circulation to a region of the body following death declaration. We systematically …

Dynamic preservation strategies are a promising option to improve graft quality before
transplantation, and to extend preservation time for either logistic or treatment reasons. In …

Preservation injury is an important factor in the outcome of transplantation. In recent years,
the increasing organ donor shortage has led to the transplantation of increasingly marginal …

Pathophysiological changes that occur during ischemia and subsequent reperfusion cause
damage to tissues procured for transplantation and also affect long-term allograft function …
