Long-Term Preservation Using a New Apparatus Combined With Suppression of Pro-inflammatory Cytokines Improves Donor Heart Function After Transplantation in a Canine Model

Hemodynamics after transplantation were significantly better in the FR-CP group than in the CP group. The combined preservation method of continuous perfusion and immersion using our apparatus in conjunction with suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines improves donor heart function after transplantation.
