Abstract

Although there is growing awareness of the need for cryo-preservation of solid organs for transplantation, whole-organ survival rate after freezing and thawing has changed little over the last quarter of a century (1). Nevertheless, a great deal has been learned concerning mechanisms of failure and avenues of inquiry which may lead to successful recovery of frozen organs for transplantation.
