To Pump or Not to Pump: A Comparison of Machine Perfusion vs Cold Storage for Deceased Donor Kidney TransplantationCannon et al. performed a retrospective analysis of the UNOS database from January 2005 to March of 2011, which included 52,052 kidney recipients. They...
Machine Perfusion versus Cold Storage for Preservation of Kidneys from Expanded Criteria Donors after Brain Death
Machine Perfusion versus Cold Storage for Preservation of Kidneys from Expanded Criteria Donors after Brain DeathIn an article based on the expanded criteria donor (ECD) subset from the machine perfusion trial, Treckmann et al. analyzed 91 donors where one kidney was...
Machine Perfusion Decreases Delayed Graft Function in Donor Grafts With High Kidney Donor Profile Index
Machine Perfusion Decreases Delayed Graft Function in Donor Grafts With High Kidney Donor Profile IndexIn the era of KDPI, Montenovo et al. sought to assess the impact of the use of machine perfusion (MP) on the incidence of delayed graft function (DGF) in the...
