Abstract
The shortage of organs for transplant remains a major challenge in transplantology. Transporting donor organs over long distances increases cold ischemia time, which is a risk factor for ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). In the face of critical shortages, the method and timing of organ preservation are crucial in increasing the donor pool. This paper examines the approaches, benefits, and drawbacks of organ preservation techniques used around the world.
