The realization of long-term human organ preservation will have groundbreaking effects on
the current practice of transplantation. Herein we present a new technique based on
subzero nonfreezing preservation and extracorporeal machine perfusion that allows
transplantation of rat livers preserved for up to four days, thereby tripling the viable
preservation duration.
