transplant perfusion

Transplant perfusion refers to the process of supplying a donor organ with a specialized solution, often containing nutrients and preservatives, to maintain its viability before it is transplanted into a recipient. This procedure helps to keep the organ functioning and healthy during transport and storage by preventing cell damage and preserving its tissue. Essentially, it acts like a form of “life support” for the organ, ensuring it remains in optimal condition until surgery, which is crucial for a successful organ transplant.
