Case Study: Experience Of Pulsatile Machine Preservation In The New York Organ Donor Network
The maximal utilization of deceased donor kidneys along the broad spectrum of donor quality necessitates the optimization of allograft evaluation and selection. Organ preservation techniques, including pulsatile machine preservation (PMP) and perfusate quality greatly influence organ outcomes, and improvements in this science and technology offer opportunities for expanding the donor pool.

Reproduced with permission from Wolters Kluwer Health: Pirenne J. Time to think out of the (ice) box. Current Opinion in Organ Transplantation 2010;15 (2):147–149.
In most transplant centers, and for most organs, cold storage remains the standard preservation method. The concept – and its application – are simple: at low temperature, metabolism is reduced and organs can be sustained, despite the lack of oxygen and metabolic substrates, for longer periods than at normal temperature. However, after 40 years of development, cold storage has reached its limit and it is time to think out of the (ice) box! Full Post »
