Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Organ perfusion and recovery have revolutionized transplantation and critical care medicine, offering new opportunities for extending organ viability, improving functional recovery, and optimizing patient outcomes. Advances in ex vivo perfusion technologies, ischemia–reperfusion injury mitigation, and bioengineering approaches have significantly impacted clinical decision-making and organ utilization. This Special Issue aims to highlight current practices, challenges, and future directions in organ perfusion and recovery across multiple organ systems, including the heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys. We invite contributions that explore novel perfusion techniques, machine perfusion strategies and metabolic insights into organ recovery and emerging therapeutic interventions. Clinical and experimental research, as well as expert reviews and technical innovations, are welcomed to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the field.
