Optical imaging and measuring methods to assess porcine kidney microcirculation during normothermic machine perfusion: A comparative proof-of-concept study

<b>OBJECTIVE </b>This study aims to compare non-invasive real-time optical imaging and measuring methods for the quantification of microcirculation of organs during normothermic machine perfusion (NMP). This could help to determine which method is most promising for further development towards a clinical objective transplantability assessment...

Prolonged Ex vivo Preservation: Creating a Normothermic Machine Perfusion Setup

Expanded Criteria Donor (ECD) organs are being used more often in clinical setting. The regenerative ability of the organs might be able to restore the organ to full functionality ex vivo. For long term kidney stabilization, optimization and monitoring an organ incubator is preferable. However, it is unclear which available parts would work best...
