Abstract

The lack of aerobic metabolism during ischemic organ preservation plays a pivotal role in the development of tissue alterations during the storage period and favours the manifestation of reper-fusion injuries, deteriorating organ viability upon postischemic resumption of nutritive blood circu-lation. Gaseous insufflation of oxygen via the venous vascular system has proven to be a useful tool to prevent anoxic tissue injury during extended time periods of ischemic preservation of kidneys (Isselhard et al., 1972) or livers (Minor and Isselhard, 1996; Minor et al., 1996) and to allow for an improved recovery of the persufflated organ after transplantation (Fischer et al., 1978; Minor et al., 1997b; Rolles et al., 1989).
