Machine Perfusion of the Pancreas: What Can We Learn from five Decades of Experimental Studies?
Abstract:Background: Pancreas transplantation is currently the best option for patients with severe complications of diabetes. This organ is however particularly vulnerable to Ischemia-Reperfusion-Injury (IRI) and the transplant procedure is associated with a high risk for recipient complications. It is therefore surprising, that testing and routine use of dynamic preservation strategies is lacking behind other solid organs.Methods: This study includes first, a literature review on the evolution of cold and warm pancre… Show more
