Abstract
Preservation of the donor heart during transport is of paramount importance for a successful transplantation procedure [1,2]. An increase in the preservation window from the current 4 — 5 hours to over 24 hours [3,4] would lead to more compatible cross-matches and wider geographical harvest of transplantable hearts. In spite of the large amount of research on the development of solutions and modalities, there is still much to be learned to achieve optimal organ preservation. Preservation solutions have evolved from simple high-potassium buffers to complex recipes [3,4].
