Title : New directions of donor heart preservation

Abstract:

The problem of preserving the viability of donor organs is relevant for modern transplantation. The need for further development is associated with a global shortage of donor organs of ideal quality, with the need to prolong the terms of their guaranteed conservation to improve the logistics of the transplant process, as well as to ensure the restoration of the viability of initially compromised donor organs obtained from donors with "extended evaluation criteria". The report will present methods for the preservation of the donor heart, indicate further ways to improve technologies in this area, in particular, options such as extracorporeal perfusion and gas preservation of the heart will be considered.
