Front Immunol. 2020 Jul 28;11:1621. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2020.01621. eCollection 2020.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Many donor organs contain significant leukocyte reservoirs which upon transplantation activate recipient leukocytes to initiate acute rejection. We aimed to assess whether non-ischemic heart preservation via ex vivo

Transplantation. 2021 Jul 1;105(7):1530-1538. doi: 10.1097/TP.0000000000003476.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Normothermic ex situ liver perfusion (NEsLP) reduces reperfusion injury of donation after circulatory death (DCD) grafts and optimizes graft function. The goal of our study was to elucidate how NEsLP impacts

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to match clinical outcomes of heart transplantation (HTx) against histopathologic and ultrastructural characteristics of marginal grafts preserved by cold

J Cardiothorac Surg. 2020 Oct 27;15(1):323. doi: 10.1186/s13019-020-01367-w.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Organ Care System (OCS) minimizes the cold ischemic time and allows for optimization of logistics and meticulous recipient preparation. Impact of normothermic ex-vivo preservation using OCS compared with cold
