Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for end-stage renal disease. Despite its
superiority over dialysis, the persisting organ shortage remains a major drawback. Additional …

Background. Better preservation strategies for the storage of donation after circulatory death
grafts are essential to improve graft function and to increase the kidney donor pool. We …

Normothermic ex vivo kidney perfusion (NEVKP) represents a novel approach for graft
preservation and functional improvement in kidney transplantation. We investigated whether …

Background Donation after circulatory death (DCD) is current clinical practice to increase
the donor pool. Deleterious effects on renal graft function are described for hypothermic …

Background Hypothermic kidney storage causes preservation injury and is poorly tolerated
by renal grafts. We investigated whether static cold storage (SCS) can be safely replaced …

Kidney transplantation has become a well-established treatment option for patients with end-stage
renal failure. The persisting organ shortage remains a serious problem. Therefore, …

We developed a novel technique of subnormothermic ex vivo liver perfusion (SNEVLP) for
the storage of liver grafts before transplantation. To test the safety of SNEVLP for the …

Kidney transplantation with grafts procured after donation-after-cardiac death (DCD) has led
to an increase in incidence of delayed graft function (DGF). It is thought that the warm …

Introduction Achalasia is one of the most common causes of dysphagia. Typical symptoms
include difficulties in controlling the swallowing process, regurgitation, weight loss, and chest …

Background. Normothermic ex vivo kidney perfusion (NEVKP) has demonstrated superior
outcomes for donation-after-cardiovascular death grafts compared with static cold storage (…
