Machine perfusion viability testing
Current Opinion in Organ Transplantation, 2013Pretransplant assessment of kidney graft viability may help clinicians to decide whether to accept or discard a kidney for transplantation. With the increasing demand for donor kidneys and the increased use of marginal kidneys, the need of viability markers has increased to pursue superior transplant outcomes.

Machine perfusion in kidney transplantation
Current Opinion in Organ Transplantation, 2019Purpose of review The shortage of kidneys for transplantation has led to an urgent need to efficiently utilize the available cadaveric kidneys. Efficient use of machine perfusion may potentially lead to increased use of marginal kidneys by lowering the incidence of delayed graft function (DGF) and improving graft outcomes.

Hypothermic machine perfusion for uterus transplantation
Fertility and Sterility, 2023To describe the feasibility of hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) in uterus transplantation (UT) to potentially improve the preservation of the uterus and enhance graft preservation in the donation after brainstem death (DBD) context. Uterus transplantation is a new surgical approach to treating absolute uterine infertility; it can be performed after ...

Myocardial perfusion characteristics during machine perfusion for heart transplantation
Surgery, 2008Optimal parameters for machine perfusion preservation of hearts prior to transplantation have not been determined. We sought to define regional myocardial perfusion characteristics of a machine perfusion device over a range of conditions in a large animal model.Dog hearts were connected to a perfusion device (LifeCradle, Organ Transport Systems, Inc ...

Normothermic machine perfusion of the kidney
Current Opinion in Organ Transplantation, 2017Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) is a preservation method that is generating increasing interest. The aim of this review is to summarise the current status of NMP in regards of kidney viability assessment, reducing organ damage and improving transplant logistics.The results of recent large animal experiments and clinical trials show that continuous

Machine perfusion for cardiac allograft preservation
Current Opinion in Organ Transplantation, 2008The current cardiac preservation strategy for cardiac transplantation involves arresting hearts with a crystalloid preservation solution and storing them in this solution in an ice chest. This technique has allowed good results in heart transplantation, but has limited the transport interval, and has not encouraged major efforts to expand the donor ...

Hypothermic machine perfusion in kidney transplantation
Current Opinion in Organ Transplantation, 2016This article summarizes novel developments in hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) as an organ preservation modality for kidneys recovered from deceased donors.HMP has undergone a renaissance in recent years. This renewed interest has arisen parallel to a shift in paradigms; not only optimal preservation of an often marginal quality graft is required ...

Extracorporeal machine liver perfusion
Current Opinion in Organ Transplantation, 2012Recently, considerable focus has been placed on the use of hypothermic perfusion ex vivo in abdominal organ transplant. Herein, we discuss the appropriateness of using this modality to preserve livers, in particular those of suboptimal quality, and whether perfusing at warmer temperatures in this context may, in fact, be better.Hypothermic perfusion (0-

Transplant organ supplies are insufficient to meet the demands, resulting in prolonged patient wait times and waitlist mortality. Offering improved organ preservation, assessment, and resuscitation, machine perfusion of organs can enable the use of marginal organs, thereby expanding the donor pool.
