Abstract
A new and greatly simplified continuous perfusion system has been developed for kidney preservation. The apparatus consists basically of a pneumatically driven combined pump and oxygenator, together with an organ chamber and perfusate reservoir, all immersed in chipped ice. Much of the complexity of conventional systems required for pH, temperature and pulse pressure control has been eliminated. Preliminary results in experimental animals suggest that this perfusion circuit, because of its simplicity and reliability, may find wide application for cadaveric kidney storage and transportation.
