Consistent Prevention of Perioperative Cardiac Xenograft Dysfunction with Non-Ischemic Cardiac Preservation in Life-Supporting Cardiac Xenotransplantation Model
1Surgery, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, 2Revivicor, Blacksburg, VA
*Purpose: Transplantation of organs from animals to humans (xenotransplantation) has been proposed to address the critical shortage of organs for transplantation. The use of genetically…2020 American Transplant Congress
Comparing Two Methods of Minimally-Ischemic Cardiac Preservation in Life-Supporting Cardiac Xenotransplantation Model
*Purpose: Transplantation of organs from animals to humans (xenotransplantation) has been proposed to address the critical shortage of organs for transplantation. The use of genetically…2020 American Transplant Congress
Early Graft Function and Intrarenal Resistant Index after Kidney Transplantation Using New Preservation Fluid (Biolasol)
*Purpose: Biolasol is a newly developed preserving solution for cold organ storage prior to transplantation. The aim of this study was to compare in the…2020 American Transplant Congress
Successful Transplantation of Murine Hearts Preserved 24h Under Subzero Ischemia Using Novel Bio-Inspired Next Generation Cryoprotectants
*Purpose: Extension of the organ ischemia window is of paramount importance to prolong viability of transplantable organs and to improve overall outcomes. Transport using a…2019 American Transplant Congress
Assessment of Culture/Preservation Conditions on Survival and Function of Islets
Surgery, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA
*Purpose: Culture or preservation of human islets prior to transplantation has been adopted by various centers because it may reduce immunogenicity, suppress exocrine contamination and…2019 American Transplant Congress
New Reactive Oxygen Species Scavenger Prevents Injury in Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Model
University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI
*Purpose: Despite the success of preservation solutions, Ischemia-Reperfusion (IR) injury remains a significant problem for all solid organ transplants. As a result, an important, unmet…2019 American Transplant Congress
The Significance and Impact of Screening Preservation Fluid Cultures in Renal Transplant Recipients
University of Illinois Hospital and Health Sciences System, Chicago, IL
*Purpose: Preservation fluid (PF) is necessary to maintain organ viability but serves as a vector for infection. The utility of routine PF screening and impact…2019 American Transplant Congress
The Effect of the Beneficial Activity of α-Lipoic Acid Treatment Depend on the Quality of the Graft Kidneys
*Purpose: In a previous preliminary study, with a small number of patients, we observed that the treatment of the donor and the recipient with the…2019 American Transplant Congress
Partial Freezing: Subzero Whole Liver Preservation In The Presence Of Ice
*Purpose: We aim to develop a protocol to bank organs for several days, enabling global organ matching and potentially the utilization of organs unusable with…2019 American Transplant Congress
Supercooling Preservation Prolonged Mouse Cardiac Graft Cold Ischemia Time
*Purpose: Supercooling preservation techniques store a donor organ below 0°C without freezing. This has great advantages in inhibiting metabolism and preserving the organ in comparison…
