Organ transplantation is the most effective therapy for patients with end-stage disease.
Preservation solutions and techniques are crucial for donor organ quality, which is directly …

Maintaining organ viability after donation until transplantation is critically important for
optimal graft function and survival. To date, static cold storage is the most widely used form …

Most organs are currently preserved by cold storage (CS) prior to transplantation. However,
as more so called marginal donor organs are utilized, machine perfusion has regained …

Organ preservation aims to provide a viable graft with primary function post-transplant. The
current basis of preservation for transplantation is static cold storage using specific …

Organ transplantation has developed over the past 50 years to reach the sophisticated and
integrated clinical service of today through several advances in science. One of the most …

Organ preservation and re‐conditioning using machine perfusion technologies continue to
generate promising results in terms of viability assessment, organ utilization and improved …

The increased demand for organs has led to the increased usage of “higher risk” kidney and
liver grafts. These grafts from donation after circulatory death or expanded criteria donors …

Because of the high demand of organs, the usage of marginal grafts has increased. These
marginal organs have a higher risk of developing ischemia-reperfusion injury, which can …

Background Cold static storage (CS) is a proven preservation method for heart
transplantion, yet early postoperative graft dysfunction remains prevalent, so continuous …

The primary objective of organ preservation is to deliver a viable graft with minimal risk of
impaired postoperative graft function. In current clinical practice, preservation of transplanted …
