Objectives. The aim of this study was to demonstrate safe orthotopic transplantation of
porcine donor hearts harvested 24 hours after brain death and preserved for 24 hours …

Lung transplantation (LTx) has traditionally been limited by a lack of suitable donor lungs.
With the recognition that lungs are more robust than initially thought, the size of the donor …

Despite donor organ shortage, a large proportion of possible donor lungs are declined for
transplantation. Criteria for accepting/declining lungs remain controversial because of the …

Objective: The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate feasibility of a novel closed-loop
controlled therapy for prevention of hypertension in the heartbeating brain-dead porcine …

Background We aimed to observe the effect of hypotensive brain death on the donor liver
and understand its pathophysiological mechanism in improved pig model. Methods The …

Brain death is associated with lung injury and can lead to lung failure during donor support.
In this observational study, we investigated the association between donor lung failure …
