The era of “Warm Organ Transplantation” is coming

Novel Triangular Tube for Ischemia-free Organ Transplantation

“…In cases requiring vessel anastomoses for the transplanted organs, ex vivo to in situ continuous machine perfusion is a novel technique that overcomes the need for intraoperative warm ischemia from put-in to resumption of blood flow in the recipient. 2 Herein, the authors propose a surgical technique that establishes in situ perfusion for vascular anastomoses and promotes ischemia-free transplantation. 3 Previously, hard wire-reinforced circular cannulas have been used in this setting.…”

“…Although the benefits of ischemia-free liver transplantation using a perfusion machine have been reported clinically, the strategies for transplantation using DCDs could be dramatically changed by maintaining continuous resuscitation in donor organs. 1,2 Herein, we present our novel tube device in a technical “Materials and Methods” communication.…”
