Abdominal organ transplantation is the optimal treatment for many patients. Retrieval, transport, and transplantation of grafts lead to ischemia-reperfusion injury. The currently accepted standard is static cold storage (SCS), in which the organ is both perfused and stored in cold preservation solution after retrieval from the donor and then removed from the ice box at the time of the implantation. However, technologies are now available to perfuse or "pump" the organ during the transport phase or at the recipient center (machine perfusion, MP). This can be done at different temperatures and with different perfusates. 

In this webinar, our experts will first introduce the basic principles of organ protection by perfusion solutions (HTK, UW), explain the most clinical applied machine perfusion techniques and their mechanistic background, and discuss future developments that may allow to increase the pool of usable organs and improve outcomes for recipients. 

We look forward to your participation!
