Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last five decades of advancement in transplantation, static cold storage (SCS) of donated organs has remained the standard of care as a vital link in the chain between donor and recipient. As transplant clinicians, we have known for some time that SCS has well-recognized limitationsNow, with the rapidly progressing technology of in situ and ex situ machine perfusion (MP), the prospect of improved preservation, more effective assessment and even reconditioning of organs before transplant is within our reach. While many uncertainties regarding the implementation of this emerging technology remain, we are already observing its impact on transplant medicine globally. By expanding the donor pool and allowing surgeons to assess and successfully transplant organs that once would have gone unutilized, we may change the face of organ transplantation forever. This Special Issue of “Transplantology” will cover all forms of organ perfusion currently in use.
