The development of a system of 24 hours preservation of the heart for transplantation by Wicomb, Winston Neville

“…Six positive aspects of cardiac preservation have emerged from this study: - (1) A clear fluid hyperosmolar solution was formulated that adequately preserved viability of pig and baboon hearts. (2) A pneumatically powered portable preservation unit was designed which successfully preserved pig and baboon hearts when assessed by either functional testing or orthotopic transplantation. (3) A method of in vitro testing of hearts was developed that correlated with results from orthotopic transplantation. (4) A technique of cardiac autotransplantation in baboons was perfected. (5) The high release of lysosomal acid phosphatase during the period of hypothermic preservation was shown to be non-pathological and was reversible after a period of warm blood perfusion. (6) Successful preservation of human hearts for periods longer than 4 hours, not previously achieved, was obtained. …”
