American Journal of Transplantation: Volume 14, Number 10, October 2014

On the cover this month: Hypothermia has been a central component of preservation strategies since the beginning of organ transplantation, but while this has been necessary with existing preservation solutions, it is increasingly recognized that deep hypothermia has adverse consequences that likely impair organ reanimation. This month, Lowalekar et al (page 2253 ) show compelling large animal data suggesting that a new preservation approach facilitates ambient temperature storage of donor hearts with superior function relative to hypothermic storage.
