Abstract
Solid organ transplantation is lifesaving for persons with end-stage organ disease. Thanks to advancements in organ preservation, surgeons are now able to successfully transplant organs that were previously considered high risk for poor graft function. Innovations in perfusion machine types, preservation solutions and additives to preservation solutions have significantly improved the ability to utilize organs previously thought unusable.
Newer organ preservation techniques are offering a promising outlook for extending graft longevity and improving transplant outcomes. This review explores the impact of deceased donor type on graft quality and highlights emerging strategies designed to improve the function and viability of deceased donor organs.
期刊介绍:
To provide to national and regional audiences experiences unique to them or confirming of broader concepts originating in large controlled trials. All aspects of organ, tissue and cell transplantation clinically and experimentally. Transplantation Reports will provide in-depth representation of emerging preclinical, impactful and clinical experiences. -Original basic or clinical science articles that represent initial limited experiences as preliminary reports. -Clinical trials of therapies previously well documented in large trials but now tested in limited, special, ethnic or clinically unique patient populations. -Case studies that confirm prior reports but have occurred in patients displaying unique clinical characteristics such as ethnicities or rarely associated co-morbidities. Transplantation Reports offers these benefits: -Fast and fair peer review -Rapid, article-based publication -Unrivalled visibility and exposure for your research -Immediate, free and permanent access to your paper on Science Direct -Immediately citable using the article DOI
