Recent advancement in organ perfusion technology has led to the increasing transplantation of marginal donor organs and allowed for distant procurement of allografts beyond the time limitation of cold storage. This rapidly advancing machine perfusion technology promises improved preservation, better assessment, and even reconditioning of organs before transplant. However, many questions remain to be resolved regarding implementing this technology.
Our speakers will discuss how OPOs, and Transplant Centers fit into the current landscape, and the opportunities both estates face, including the wide availability of machine perfusion devices, costs, reimbursement, staff training, and competencies.
