Perspectives in Organ Preservation
Transplantation, 2007 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 of preservation in every day clinical practice. Although simple and effective, it is questionable whether this method is able to prevent deterioration of organ ...

Trends in organ preservation [PDF]
Transplant International, 2003 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 preservation solutions which minimise cellular swelling and membrane pump activity, thus maintaining cellular ATP levels. The current organ shortage and consequent expansion

Organ reperfusion and preservation
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2008 Organ transplantation is one of the medical success stories of the 20th century. Transplantation is, however, a victim of its own success with demand for organs far exceeding supply. The ischemia/reperfusion injury associated with organ transplantation is complex with interlinking cellular pathways and cascades.

Transplanting Marginal Organs in the Era of Modern Machine Perfusion and Advanced Organ Monitoring
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Organ transplantation is undergoing profound changes. Contraindications for donation have been revised in order to better meet the organ demand. The use of lower-quality organs and organs with greater preoperative damage, including those from donation ...
