[Normothermal perfusion rehabilitation of donor organs in situ after 90 minute-long primary thermal ischemia].

Results of the first using of abdominal prolonged normothermal perfusion with transmembrane oxigenation and removal of leukocytes from the perfusion contour in situ are presented. The investigation included 6 asystolic donors with primary thermal ischemia from 49 to 90 minutes and transplantation of their kidneys to recipients. In half of the patients there was immediate function of the transplant. This protocol is the method of choice in getting transplants from donors with a sudden irreversible arrest of blood circulation and prolonged 90 min primary thermal ischemia.
