The Role of Perfluorocarbon in Organ Preservation
Transplantation, 2010Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are inert solutions that have a high capacity for dissolving oxygen. There has been a continuing level of research into the delivery of oxygen during solid organ preservation with the use of PFCs. The one- and two-layer methods have been used as static storage techniques, proving particularly successful for pancreas preservation.

Organ Preservation in Liver Transplantation
Seminars in Liver Disease, 2018AbstractThe discrepancy between the number of patients awaiting liver transplantation and the number of available donors has become a key issue in the transplant setting. Various strategies to cope with the donor shortage problem and to increase the use of suboptimal grafts have been explored.

Organ Preservation for Rectal Cancer [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2007 Organ preservation with maintenance of function in the treatment of rectal cancer is highly valued by patients. Although most patients with resectable rectal cancer can undergo a sphincter-sparing radical procedure, there are patient, tumor, surgeon, and treatment factors that influence the ability to restore intestinal continuity after radical ...

Problems of Organ Preservation ORGAN PRESERVATION
Transplantation, 1967SUMMARYStorage in an intermediate host has permitted better and longer (5 days) preservation of a dog kidney than any other method.Perfusion with hypothermia, as well as hyperbaric oxygen and hypothermia, has in isolated instances permitted successful reimplantation after 3 days storage.Simple ...

Principles of Organ Preservation
2001Organ preservation is the ability to maintain ex vivo organ viability in addition to the capacity to restore normal organ function at the time of restitution of physiological blood flow.1 It is currently the basis upon which clinical and research models of organ transplantation rely.

PROBLEMS IN CLINICAL ORGAN PRESERVATION∗ [PDF]
Medical Journal of Australia, 1977 Effective preservation of donor organs is essential for successful renal cadaver transplantation. Three problems of direct clinical relevance are discussed: (i) agonal damage to the donor kidney; (ii) extracorporeal preservation; (iii) effects of preservation on antigenicity.

Normothermic preservation of isolated organs
Journal of Biomedical Engineering, 1981Abstract Many perfusional techniques have already been described for the preservation of isolated organs, but we present here the basic problems at cellular level regarding functional preservation. The technique we use permits physiological and pharmacological studies on isolated organs and may also be helpful in the development of long term ...

Organ-Preserving Pancreatectomy
2017The organ-preserving pancreatectomy offers surgical method which can minimize the functional loss and decrease in quality of life. However, this is performed at the cost of compromised radicality. Therefore, organ-preserving pancreatectomy is suitable for low-grade malignant neoplasms of pancreas and not for malignant diseases except for pancreatic ...

Organ Preservation for Transplantation
Archives of Surgery, 1975Man's interest in prolongation of life is as old as his awareness of its limits. He is the only mortal who strives to prolong his existence. Observation of hibernating animals led to the conclusion that a temporary slowing down of biologic processes might be a way to prolong life.

Organ Preservation and Implantation
2019Heart transplantation (HTX) is still the golden standard in the treatment of terminal heart failure. Quality of life after HTX is rated very good and the mid- to long-term results are acceptable. However, organ shortage and chronic transplantation atherosclerosis represent major challenges in this field.
