Ischemic preconditioning of cadaver donor livers protects allografts following transplantation

Ischemic preconditioning (IP) has been shown in animal models to protect livers against ischemia/reperfusion injury. The aim of this clinical study is to investigate whether IP of cadaver livers prior to retrieval confers protection on the allografts. Cadaveric donor livers were subjected to IP prio...
