Abstract
INTRODUCTION With the increase and refinement of video assisted mitral valve surgery, cristalloïd cardioplegia started regaining popularity. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Celsior®, a crystalloid cardioplegic solution, on myocardial protection in elective surgical mitral valve repair in comparison to blood based hyperkalemic cardioplegia. METHODS In this observational retrospective study, all consecutive elective isolated surgical mitral valve repair where Celsior® or normothermic hyperkalemic blood cardioplegia were used were included. Primary endpoint was any sign of myocardial protection failure (troponin levels, need for inotropic or mechanical support, rhythm disturbances, mortality). Secondary endpoint was Celsior® safety (allergic reactions, bleeding, organ toxicities). RESULTS From January 2009 to August 2016, 382 patients underwent elective isolated mitral valve repair in whom normothermic hyperkalemic blood cardioplegia (n = 181) or Celsior® (n = 201) were used. There were no statistically significant differences in baseline characteristics including Euroscore 2. Peak troponin (pg/ml) release and 30-days mortality were not statistically different. Need for cardioversion was significantly more frequent in the Celsior® group (47% vs 13%, p < 0.001). There was no statistical difference in post-operative atrial fibrillation, permanent pacemaker implantation, reoperation for bleeding, transfusion, acute kidney injury, haemoglobin at discharge or length of stay. No allergic reaction to Celsior® occurred. CONCLUSION Effective myocardial protection was achieved with the Celsior® cardioplegic solution with no unexpected toxicity. Celsior® may be an efficacious and safe cardioprotective strategy in mitral valve repair.

Abstract
Objective To compare the preservative effects of Celsior solution and modified blood Wallwork solution in lung transplantation. Methods From 1989 to 2000, 44 lung transplantations for cystic fibrosis were performed: 26 grafts were preserved with modified blood Wallwork solution and 18 with Celsior solution. Results Preoperative status of the 2 groups was similar. The ratio of arterial oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen and the pulmonary vascular resistance on the first postoperative day did not differ significantly between the 2 groups. Early death was 4% (SD, 20%) in the Wallwork group versus 11% (SD, 32%) in the Celsior group (not significant). No death was related to graft failure. The forced expiratory volume in 1 second during the first month after transplantation was 63% (SD, 19%) in the Wallwork group versus 63% (SD, 16%) in the Celsior group (not significant). Conclusion Because the solution does not need to be prepared on site and does not require blood from the donor, Celsior seems better than Wallwork solution for preserving lung grafts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Identity of the optimal heart preservation solution remains unknown. Because oxidative stress contributes to contractile failure in the ischaemic/reperfused myocardium and the main characteristic of Celsior is its antioxidant effect, it is important to elucidate the relationship between the inhibitory effect on oxidative stress and cardiac mechano-energetics. We therefore evaluated the efficacy of Celsior from both aspects by comparison with the University of Wisconsin solution (UWS). METHODS We used 18 excised cross-circulated canine hearts. Excised hearts were preserved with UWS (n = 6) or Celsior (n = 6) for 3 h at 4 °C; the remaining six served as controls. Hearts were then cross-circulated and rewarmed. The end-systolic pressure-volume ratio (LV Emax) and the ventricular pressure-volume area, which is a measure of total mechanical energy, were assessed after reperfusion. Biopsies were taken from the endocardium after excising the heart, before reperfusion, after reperfusion and 4 h after reperfusion to assess the inhibitory effect of each agent on oxidative stress. Endo-myocardial biopsy samples were studied immunohistochemically for expression of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE)-modified protein, which is a major lipid peroxidation product. RESULTS Emax in the UWS group was significantly smaller than in the control group, whereas the Emax in the Celsior group was preserved. Oxygen cost of Emax in the UWS group was significantly higher than in the Celsior group. Myocardial HNE-modified protein levels increased gradually, both under preservation and after reperfusion in the UWS group. Myocardial HNE-modified protein levels in the Celsior group were lower, mainly before and 4 h after reperfusion compared with the UWS group. CONCLUSIONS Celsior may maintain cardiac contractility and conserve oxygen cost by inhibiting oxidative stress.

Abstract
Hypothermic preservation of donor grafts is imperative to ameliorate ischemia related cellular damage prior to organ transplantation. Numerous solutions are in existence with widespread variability among transplant centers as to a consensus regarding the optimal preservation solution. Here, we present a concise review of pertinent preservation studies involving cardiac and pulmonary allografts in an attempt to minimize the variability among institutions and potentially improve graft and patient survival. A biochemical comparison of common preservation solutions was undertaken with an emphasis on Euro Collins (EC), University of Wisconsin (UW), histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK), Celsior (CEL), Perfadex (PER), Papworth, and Plegisol. An appraisal of the literature ensued containing the aforementioned preservation solutions in the setting of cardiac and pulmonary transplantation. Available evidence supports UW solution as the preservation solution of choice for cardiac transplants with encouraging outcomes relative to notable contenders such as CEL. Despite its success in the setting of cardiac transplantation, its use in pulmonary transplantation remains suboptimal and improved outcomes may be seen with PER. Together, we suggest, based on the literature that the use of UW solution and PER for cardiac and pulmonary transplants, respectively may improve transplant outcomes such as graft and patient survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Advanced donor age is one of the risk factors for graft failure and is the leading cause of early death after heart transplantation. Better myocardial preservation methods should reduce graft failure. The purpose of this study was to determine if adenosine, which is known to enhance cardioplegic protection, enhances myocardial preservation during heart transplantation using older donors. METHODS We used a rat heterotopic heart transplantation model with Lewis rats that were at least 60 weeks old as donors. We injected saline (control) or adenosine (0.1 or 0.2 mg/kg) before cardioplegia, perfused with cold Celsior and stored the hearts in Celsior for 6 h at 4°C. The grafts were transplanted into syngenic, 12-16-week old recipients, and blood and tissue were collected 3 h after reperfusion. RESULTS Bolus injection of adenosine led to faster mechanical arrest after perfusion with Celsior and faster reanimation after reperfusion compared with controls. Adenosine treatment significantly reduced myocardial injury, as indicated by serum troponin I and creatine phosphokinase levels. The mRNAs for inflammatory cytokines were markedly increased in the control grafts, but were less upregulated in the grafts treated with adenosine. The grafts treated with adenosine also exhibited less mitochondrial damage, fewer infiltrating cells and a higher adenosine triphosphate content. CONCLUSIONS Adenosine injection prior to perfusion of cardioplegia significantly reduced cold ischaemia/reperfusion injury in cardiac grafts from older donors and improved the stores of cellular energy after reperfusion. This procurement protocol may be clinically feasible and should be considered in the clinical setting, particularly for older donors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The choice of cardioplegic solution for myocardial preservation in heart transplantation (HT) remains debated. We analysed our experience with three different cardioplegic solutions in adult HT performed during past 5 years, in terms of non-immunological intraoperative biventricular graft failure (BVF) and in-hospital mortality. METHODS A total of 133 patients underwent HT at our hospital from January 2006 to December 2010. Patients were divided into three groups, according to the solution adopted in the donor: HTK-Custodiol (n = 61), Celsior (n = 38) and St Thomas (n = 34). For each patient, solution was chosen according to surgeon's preference. RESULTS Recipient and donor mean age was 48.2 ± 12.7 and 43.8 ± 13.6 years, respectively. Twenty-four patients (18.0%) were in Status 1 at the transplant. The mean ischaemic time was 187.9 ± 52.6 min. Intraoperative BVF was observed in 18 cases (13.5%). Patients with BVF, and their respective donors, were older than the other patients (patients: 53.3 vs 47.4 years, P = 0.06; donors: 49.4 vs 42.9 years, P 0.06), and experienced significantly higher in-hospital mortality (47.3 vs 7.8%, P = 0.0001). The combination of patients aged 60 years or older with donors aged 60 years or older carried a mortality of 66.6% (6 out of 9). The three groups of patients did not differ significantly in terms of preoperative and intraoperative features and outcomes, including biventricular graft failure and death. At multivariate analysis, predictors of in-hospital death were a combination of both a recipient and a donor aged ≥ 60 years (OR 27.9), intraoperative BVF (OR 14.8) and previous cardiac surgery (OR 13.0). Cardioplegic solution did not predict mortality. CONCLUSIONS We did not observe a significant effect of the kind of cardioplegic solution on the early HT outcomes. The combination between both a recipient and a donor aged ≥ 60 years, reoperation and BVF are strong predictors of in-hospital death.

A novel method of measuring cardiac preservation injury demonstrates University of Wisconsin solution is associated with less ischemic necrosis than Celsior in early cardiac allograft biopsy specimens. J Heart Lung Transplant 2011; 31:410-8.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No consensus exists on the optimal heart preservative solution (HPS) for cardiac allograft preservation. The significance of varying degrees of acute ischemic necrosis (AIN) in early transplant biopsy specimens is unknown. We investigated the effects of HPS on early cardiac histopathology by developing a novel grading system of AIN. METHODS A retrospective review of our institutional database of orthotopic heart transplants (OHT) identified hearts preserved with University of Wisconsin (UW) or Celsior solutions. AIN severity was graded on early post-transplant biopsy specimens. Primary stratification was by HPS. Multivariable models examined mortality, AIN grade, primary graft dysfunction (PGD), and right heart failure (RHF). RESULTS From 1996 to 2010, 42 of 174 adult OHTs were preserved with UW and 132 with Celsior, from which 431 biopsy specimens were reviewed. UW and Celsior had similar 30-day (p = 0.79) and 1-year mortality (p = 0.92). Celsior was associated with significantly more AIN on the first (p = 0.02) and second (p = 0.04) specimens and persisted on multivariable analysis for the first (odds ratio, 2.93; 95% confidence interval, 1.26-6.83; p = 0.01) and second biopsy specimen (2.08; 0.99-4.34; p = 0.05). When stratified by AIN score, 30-day and 1-year mortality were similar (p > 0.05). Adjusted analysis showed increasing AIN score on the first biopsy was strongly associated with an increased incidence of PGD (1.59; 1.02-2.47; p = 0.04) and RHF (2.45; 1.14-5.27; p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Our grading system provides a simple, reproducible method for determining AIN. UW is associated with less AIN than Celsior solution. Early biopsy ischemia is associated with PGD and RHF. AIN may have prognostic significance and its routine evaluation should be considered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Celsior solution (CS) is a high-sodium, low-potassium, low-viscosity extracellular solution that has been used for liver graft preservation in recent years, although experience with it is still limited. We performed an open-label randomized active-controlled trial comparing CS with the University of Wisconsin solution (UW) for liver transplantation (LT), with a follow-up period of 5 years. METHODS Adult transplant recipients (n=102) were prospectively randomized to receive either CS (n=51) or UW (n=51). The two groups were comparable with respect to donor and recipient characteristics. The primary outcome measure was the incidence of postreperfusion syndrome (PRS). Secondary outcome measures included primary nonfunction (PNF) or primary dysfunction (PDF), liver retransplantation, and graft and patient survival. Other secondary outcome measures were days in the intensive care unit (ICU) and the rates of acute rejection, chronic rejection, infectious complications, postoperative reoperations, and vascular and biliary complications. RESULTS In all, 14 posttransplant variables revealed no significant differences between the groups. There were no cases of PNF or PDF. The incidence of PRS was 5.9% in the CS group and 21.6% in the UW group (P=0.041). After reperfusion, CS revealed greater control of serum potassium (P=0.015), magnesium levels (P=0.005), and plasma glucose (P=0.042) than UW. Respective patient survivals at 3, 12, and 60 months were 95.7, 87.2, and 82.0% for the CS group and 95.7, 83.3, and 66.6% for the UW group (P=0.123). CONCLUSIONS While retaining the same degree of safety and effectiveness as UW for LT, CS may yield postliver graft reperfusion benefits, as shown in this study by a significant reduction in the incidence of PRS and greater metabolic control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite significant advances in cardiac allograft preservation, the optimal preservative solution is unknown. We evaluated the impact of the most commonly used solutions in the USA, the University of Wisconsin solution (UW) and Celsior solution (CS), on outcomes after orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed adult OHT recipients in the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) database. Primary stratification was by preservation solution. The primary end-point was short-term survival (30 days and 1 year). Secondary end-points included common post-operative complications. Subgroup analysis was performed in high-risk allografts (donor age >50 years or ischemic time >4 hours). Risk-adjusted multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression was used to assess survival. RESULTS From 2004 to 2009, 4,910 patients (3,107 UW and 1,803 CS) with sufficient preservation solution information for analysis underwent OHT. Baseline characteristics were well-matched between the two groups. UW was associated with a small but significantly improved survival compared with CS at 30 days (96.7% vs 95.4%, p = 0.02) and 1 year (89.6% vs 87.0%, p < 0.01). These survival differences persisted on multivariate analysis at 30 days (HR 1.47 [1.02 to 2.13], p < 0.05) and 1 year (HR 1.40 [1.14 to 1.73], p < 0.01). In the 1,455 patients with high-risk allografts, preservation with UW was associated with improved survival compared with CS at 30 days (94.3% vs 91.3%, p < 0.01) and at 1 year (84.2% vs 80.19%, p < 0.01), a difference that was significant according to multivariate Cox analysis at 30 days (HR 2.29 [1.39 to 3.76], p < 0.01) and 1 year (HR 1.61 [1.17 to 2.21], p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Preservation with UW solution is associated with improved short-term survival compared with CS. Patients undergoing OHT with high-risk allografts have a similar survival benefit.

[PMID: 21352993 DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2010.11.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2010] [Revised: 11/09/2010] [Accepted: 11/10/2010] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The growing number of patients awaiting heart transplantation, coupled with the worldwide donor shortage, has led to increased use of marginal organs, specifically hearts from older donors. This study compared the protective effects of two widely used preservation solutions, histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) and Celsior (CEL; Sangstat Medical, Menlo Park, CA), for ischemia-reperfusion injury using a rat heterotopic heart transplantation model with older donors. METHODS The hearts were excised from 16- and 80-week-old Lewis donor rats, stored in HTK, CEL, or saline for 6 hours and heterotopically transplanted into syngenic young Lewis recipients. Serum troponin I and creatine phosphokinase, graft infiltrating cells, graft apoptosis, graft proinflammatory messenger ribonucleic acid levels, and adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase phosphorylation were analyzed 3, 6, and 12 hours after reperfusion as markers of graft injury. Tissue adenosine triphosphate levels were measured after cold storage for 0, 6, 12, and 18 hours. RESULTS The HTK and CEL reduced injury comparably in grafts from young donors. The recipients of grafts from older donors and stored in HTK for 6 hours had lower levels of serum troponin I and creatine phosphokinase, less upregulation of the messenger ribonucleic acid for interleukin-6, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, and tumor necrosis factor-α, fewer infiltrating cells, less apoptosis, and less phosphorylated adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase than recipients of grafts stored in CEL. Adenosine triphosphate levels in the hearts stored in HTK were significantly higher than those stored in CEL or saline. CONCLUSIONS Cold storage in HTK exhibited superior protective effects against ischemia-reperfusion injury of hearts from older donors in this rat transplantation model.

Abstract
The purpose of this prospective, nine-center, non-randomized study was to assess the efficacy and safety of Celsior preservation fluid in liver transplantation using unselected donors. As data comparing allograft outcomes following liver transplantation using Celsior and University of Wisconsin (UW) preservation fluids are limited, we also compared our cohort with matched controls selected from the European Liver Transplant Registry (ELTR) who received total liver grafts preserved with UW solution during the same period. One hundred and forty patients who received livers preserved with Celsior were included. The primary endpoint, graft loss at one-yr post-transplantation, was observed in 24 patients (17.1%) which was not significantly different from the 20.0% pre-defined threshold rate (95% confidence interval [CI] 10.9, 23.4; p=0.398). Predictive factors for graft loss on univariate analysis were moderate-to-severe steatosis on the donor graft (5/22 patients with graft loss vs. 8/107 patients without, p=0.046) and duration of warm ischemia (1.4±1.1 h in patients with graft loss vs. 0.9±0.5 h in patients without, p=0.034). Hepatic artery thrombosis and stenosis occurred in seven (5.0%) and six (4.3%) patients, respectively. The comparison of our patients to 420 ELTR controls showed that one-yr graft survival rates (Celsior: 82.9%, 95% CI 75.8, 88.2; UW: 78.6%, 95% CI 74.4, 82.2) and Kaplan-Meier one-yr graft survival distributions (p=0.285) were similar. Within the cold ischemia time achieved in our study, liver preservation with Celsior appeared efficient and safe. Comparison with ELTR patients suggested that liver allograft survival was similar using Celsior or UW solution for preservation of unselected donor grafts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hair transplantation surgery currently is a well-established procedure in plastic surgery. It consists of harvesting a strip of scalp from the back of the head, then obtaining grafts called follicular units (FUs) from this strip and implanting them in the bald area. The FUs undergo oxidative stress during cold ischemia and after their implantation. METHODS Surgery was performed for 18 patients between April and July 2008. Follicular units were preserved in solutions containing different growth-stimulating hormone (GSH) concentrations (5, 10, and 20 mmol). Saline solution was used as a control condition. Spectrophotometry was used to measure the thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance (TBARS) and GSH concentrations before ischemia (control group) in the FUs preserved in the four proposed solutions, then after 30 min of cold ischemia and 30 min after grafting. The data obtained were submitted to analysis of variance, t test, and linear regression analysis. RESULTS The TBARS (μmol of malondialdehyde [MDA]/g) and GSH (μmol/g) concentrations were not significantly different between the four solutions in either the ischemia or grafting group. The GSH concentration did not differ significantly between the control (59.801 ± 30.639 μmol/g) and ischemia (56.284 ± 28.404 μmol/g) groups. The GSH concentrations were significantly greater (p < 0.05) in the postgrafting group (63.815 ± 28.404 μmol/g) than in the group subjected to ischemia. CONCLUSION Increasing the GSH concentrations used in FU preservation solutions does not reduce the oxidative effects of cold ischemia and reperfusion injury during hair transplantation surgery.

Abstract
Maintaining organ viability from extraction to transplantation is crucial to ensure the function and survival of the graft. In recent years, maintaining organ viability has become more challenging because the shortage of donors has led to broader criteria for donor acceptability and consequently to organs with greater compromise. Organ damage occurs primarily as a result of ischemia-reperfusion injury, which is associated to additional damage from the preservation process. To minimize this damage, different techniques of organ preservation are used with the aim of optimizing organ function once perfusion is restored. Static cold storage is the most commonly used method of preservation because it is extremely simple, nearly universally available, and easy to transport. However, static cold storage may be unable to prevent the deterioration of the quality of organs from donors included under the broader criteria. In this article, we describe current preservation techniques; we place special emphasis on continuous machine perfusion.

Abstract
Solid organ transplantation is an increasing need and a well-established activity which requires maintaining the quality of the transplant from procurement through the entire, storage, transport and graft procedure. Solutions for organ preservation play a key role in this procedure, by minimizing the deleterious effects of both ischemia and reperfusion. As such, their qualitative and quantitative compositions have to be optimized and validated. The development strategy and formulations proposed for these solutions are analyzed in this review as well as the results of the clinical studies which have set up the relevant pharmacological and physicochemical criteria. The French regulatory status of these products is also discussed. A clear distinction has to be made between solutions for organ preservation which are classified as produits thérapeutiques annexes (therapeutic ancillary products) and cardioplegic liquid formulations which are considered as medicinal products and are subject to marketing approval. Finally, the roles of the hospital pharmacist in the evaluation, selection, purchase and proper use of these products are described.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to examine the possibility of using an ischemically damaged heart, after preservation by the cavitary two-layer (CTL) method, as a donor in heart transplantation. METHODS Each donor heart was heterotopically transplanted to the recipient aorta. The grafts in Group 1 were immediately transplanted. In Group 2, the grafts with (a) 15- or (b) 30-minute warm ischemia were transplanted. The ischemically damaged grafts were transplanted after preservation for 3 hours in University of Wisconsin (UW) solution (Group 3) or CTL (Group 4). Five-day animal survival, tissue adenine triphosphate (ATP) concentration, biochemical assay and histopathologic data were obtained. RESULTS Five-day survival in Group 4a was 7 of 8, with significant recovery of the ATP tissue level (9.31 +/- 0.80 micromol/dry weight). Biochemical and pathologic examinations demonstrated that ischemia-reperfusion injury was prevented in Group 4a compared with Group 2a. CONCLUSIONS An ischemically damaged rat heart preserved for 3 hours by CTL was found to be a potential donor in rat heart transplantation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Celsior is a crystalloid solution specifically designed for solid-organ transplantation. Due to its advanced combination of solutes, we wanted to evaluate its safety, efficacy, and possible benefits when used as blood cardioplegia in elective cardiac surgery in a single-center, randomized, controlled clinical trial, comparing its performance with a well-established cardioplegic solution. METHODS Patients programmed for aortic valve replacement were randomized to receive either St. Thomas No. 2 or Celsior as blood cardioplegia with the same administration protocol. Intraoperative and postoperative variables concerning myocardial protection were registered and compared. RESULTS A total of 60 patients were enrolled and randomized (Celsior, 30; St. Thomas, 30). There were no significant differences in baseline and preoperative variables. Volume of cardioplegic solution, number of administrations needed and the amount of potassium added were similar in both groups. Patients in the Celsior group showed a higher incidence of spontaneous sinus rhythm after myocardial ischemia (77% vs 40%, p=0.004) and fewer patients required defibrillation (17% vs 43%, p=0.024) for ventricular reperfusion arrhythmias. Postoperatively, there were no significant differences in troponin I release, inotropic and vasopressor drug support, ICU stay, and postoperative evolution. There were no deaths in the study. CONCLUSIONS Celsior solution used as blood cardioplegia is effective and seems to be safe in elective aortic valve replacement when compared in this pilot study with a standard cardioplegic solution used worldwide. Fast return to sinus rhythm and lower incidence of reperfusion arrhythmias in the Celsior group may reflect a better myocardial protection during cardioplegic arrest. More investigation is needed to elucidate its performance in elective surgery.

Abstract
Celsior solution has already proved effective in heart graft preservation because it reduces myocardial edema, prevents free radical damage, and limits calcium overload. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Celsior solution as myocardial protection in high-risk transplantation. Hospital charts and follow-up data of 200 consecutive heart recipients (162 males, 38 females, mean age 47.4 +/- 12.6 years) were reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups: group A (73 patients) included recipients of high-risk grafts (at least two of the following: age >45; female sex; high preretrieval inotropic support, viz. dobutamine or dopamine >10 microg/kg per minute and/or infusion of norepinephrine regardless of its dosage; size mismatch >20%; ischemia time >180 min) and group B (127 patients) included recipients of standard grafts. Quality of preservation was assessed through enzyme release, echocardiographic evaluation, the need for inotropic support or pacemaker, and histology of biopsy samples. Hospital and 1-year mortality were also evaluated. Comparisons between the two groups were made through univariate analysis. Study groups proved homogeneous as to recipient age, pretransplant cardiomyopathy, status at transplantation, mean panel reactive antibodies, and redo cardiac surgery. Hospital mortality was 8% (11% vs 6.3%, P = 0.18) while 1-year mortality reached 12% (15.1% vs 10.2%, P = 0.6) without significant difference between groups. Graft performance as described by the need for inotropic support and/or pacemaker as well as echocardiography (left and right ventricular ejection fraction) proved comparable. There were no significant differences as to histology findings and patterns of enzyme release. Celsior provides optimal myocardial preservation in both standard and high-risk procedures. Such advances help to enhance donor pool expansion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have previously reported the cardiac functional and metabolic benefits of administration of extracellular-type cardioplegia before preservation with University of Wisconsin solution. Celsior solution was designed to be used both as an arresting solution and a storage solution for heart transplantation. The objective of the present study is to compare cardiac function of hearts arrested and preserved with Celsior solution to hearts arrested with cardioplegia followed by preservation with UW solution. METHODS Rabbit hearts were divided into 4 groups: in the Celsior group, hearts were arrested and preserved with Celsior solution; in the C-Celsior group, hearts were arrested by an extracellular-type cardioplegia and preserved with Celsior solution; in the UW group, hearts were arrested and stored in University of Wisconsin solution; and, in the C-UW group, hearts were arrested with extracellular-type cardioplegia and stored in University of Wisconsin solution. After 6 hours of preservation, cardiac function was measured using modified Frank-Starling curves in the isolated blood-perfused working heart. RESULTS Cardiac function in the Celsior group was inferior to that in both the C-UW group and UW group. The C-Celsior group demonstrated inferior cardiac function compared with the Celsior group (p < 0.01), whereas no significant difference was observed between the C-UW and UW groups. CONCLUSIONS Celsior solution did not surpass UW solution regardless of the use of cardioplegia. Further studies are required to develop optimal solution for use as both an arresting solution and a storage solution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Better protective effects of Celsior on cardiac function than the other conventional solutions have been reported in acute experiments and in clinical trials for at-risk patients. However, no study has yet precisely elucidated how these preservation solutions affect cardiac mechanoenergetics. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of St. Thomas' Hospital solution No. 2, University of Wisconsin solution, and Celsior on left ventricular contractility (Emax: end-systolic pressure-volume ratio) and oxygen consumption. METHODS We used 32 canine excised cross-circulated hearts. Twenty-three hearts served as donor hearts after hypothermic ischemia with one of the three solutions, and the remaining 9 served as controls. After arrest with each solution, the hearts were preserved for 4 hours at 4 degrees C. Then, we measured left ventricular pressure, volume, and oxygen consumption to obtain Emax and the relation between ventricular pressure-volume area (a measure of total mechanical energy) and oxygen consumption. We also evaluated the oxygen cost of Emax by changing Emax with calcium administration. RESULTS Celsior did not significantly affect E(max) (6.3 +/- 2.4 in control versus 5.3 +/- 1.3 mm Hg.mL(-1).100 g with Celsior) nor the oxygen cost of Emax (1.2 +/- 0.6 versus 1.6 +/- 0.5 mL O2.mL.mm Hg(-1).beat(-1).100 g(-2), respectively). In contrast, St. Thomas' Hospital and University of Wisconsin solutions significantly decreased Emax (4.5 +/- 1.1 and 3.5 +/- 0.9 mm Hg.mL(-1).100 g, respectively) and increased the oxygen cost of Emax (2.5 +/- 0.8 and 2.4 +/- 0.9 mL O2.mL.mm Hg(-1).beat(-1).100 g(-2), respectively) compared with control and Celsior-preserved hearts. The slope and intercept of the oxygen consumption versus pressure-volume area relation showed no significant difference among the four groups. CONCLUSIONS Celsior showed better protective effects on cardiac mechanoenergetics than St. Thomas' Hospital and University of Wisconsin solutions in the acute phase of heart transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated a relatively new organ preservation (Celsior) solution regarding its effect on the endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF)-mediated function with comparison to St. Thomas Hospital (ST) solution. METHODS The EDHF-mediated relaxation was induced by bradykinin (BK, -10 to -6.5 logM) in the presence of inhibitors of nitric oxide and prostacyclin in porcine small resistance coronary arteries, before and after incubation in ST (Group Ia, n=11), Celsior (Group Ib, n=13), or Krebs (Group Ic, control, n=12) at 4 degrees C for 4 hr. The EDHF-mediated hyperpolarization of the membrane potential of smooth muscle cells was measured by microelectrode with simultaneous relaxation after cold storage in ST (IIa, n=7), Celsior (IIb, n=6), or Krebs (IIc, control, n=6), or followed by washout with Krebs (ST: IIIa, n=6, Celsior: IIIb, n=6). RESULTS The EDHF-mediated relaxation was significantly decreased in Group Ia (56.4+/-7.2% vs. 71.2+/-5.3%, P<0.05) and Ib (44.8+/-4.9% vs. 74.7+/-3.3%, P<0.05) but not in Ic. The sensitivity to BK was also significantly decreased (Ia: -7.51+/-0.14 vs. -7.76+/-0.12 log M, P<0.05; Ib: -7.36+/-0.09 vs. -7.60+/-0.09 logM, P<0.05). The resting membrane potential was depolarized in IIa (-44.3+/-1.9 mV, n=7, P<0.05) and IIb (-33.0+/-2.2 mV, n=6, P<0.05) compared with IIc (-57.1+/-1.5 mV, n=6). The EDHF-mediated hyperpolarization decreased significantly in IIa and IIb (3.4+/-0.3 and 3.0+/-0.2 vs. 6.3+/-0.5 mV, P<0.05) and partially restored in IIIa (5.0+/-0.2 vs. 3.4+/-0.3 mV, P<0.05) and IIIb (4.1+/-0.3 vs. 3.0+/-0.2 mV, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Storage with Celsior and ST solutions reduces the EDHF-mediated endothelial function (hyperpolarization and associated relaxation) in porcine small resistance coronary arteries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Machine perfusion preservation improves reperfusion function of many solid organs, compared with conventional storage, but has received limited clinical attention in preserving hearts for transplantation. We evaluated representative extracellular (Celsior) and intracellular (University of Wisconsion) storage solutions using static and perfusion protective strategies over a clinically relevant preservation period. METHODS Rat hearts were preserved for 200 minutes by either static storage or perfusion preservation in Celsior or University of Wisconsin solutions. Three conditions were studied: conventional static storage; static storage using either solution with 5.5 mmol/L glucose added; and perfusion preservation using either solution with 5.5 mmol/L glucose added. Glucose was provided as U-13C-labeled glucose, and glycolysis and oxidative metabolism during preservation were quantified from incorporation of (13)C into glycolytic and tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates. Adenosine triphosphate levels after preservation, and apoptosis and cardiac function after reperfusion were measured. RESULTS Both perfusion preservation groups had higher myocardial oxygen consumption during storage and better early graft function, compared with static preservation groups (P < .05). Adenosine triphosphate levels were higher after storage in the perfusion groups (P < .01). Apoptosis was reduced in the perfusion groups (P < .01). Comparing perfusion groups, hearts preserved with Celsior had higher myocardial oxygen consumption and glucose utilization during perfusion storage and exhibited decreased reperfusion coronary vascular resistance and myocardial water content, compared with the UW perfusion group (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS Perfusion preservation results in greater metabolism during storage and superior cardiac function with improved myocyte survival, compared with static storage. Extracellular preservation solutions appear more effective for perfusion preservation, possibly by augmenting cellular metabolism.

Abstract
Graft failure during the first few days posttransplantation remains one of the main unresolved complications. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of Celsior preservation solution on the incidence of early graft failure in high-risk cardiac transplant recipients. A retrospective study was carried out evaluating the cardiac transplants in 179 heart recipients. The patients were divided into 2 groups: (1) Celsior preservation solution (n = 37), and (2) Control solution (n = 142). To evaluate the efficacy of the Celsior solution, a subgroup of transplants from older donors or with ischemia times greater than 4 hours was compared with the other cases. The incidence of early graft failure was lower among the Celsior subgroups with longer ischemia times or of older donors compared with the control groups. We conclude that preservation with Celsior solution in cardiac transplantation is safe and effective. It even has advantages to reduce early graft failure compared with conventional solutions, a benefit that may be more evident in subgroups at high risk for myocardial dysfunction.

Abstract
In organ transplantation, ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) has been implicated in delayed graft function (DGF) as well as in short- and long-term complications. Using an autotransplant pig kidney model, changes in renal function and morphology were determined after different periods of cold ischemia in kidneys preserved in the University of Wisconsin solution (UW), high-Na(+) version of UW (HEH) or Celsior (CEL) a newly developed high-Na(+) solution, with or without trimetazidine (TMZ). Kidney function was better preserved in CEL, UW and particularly HEH in combination with TMZ, particularly after 48 and 72 h. Mitochondria integrity was improved in TMZ-preserved groups. This study indicates that TMZ is efficiently protective against IRI even after prolonged preservation and in different preservation solutions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Viaspan (University of Wisconsin [UW]) solution is the gold standard for abdominal organ preservation. Celsior (CEL) is an extracellular-type, low-potassium, low-viscosity solution, initially used for heart and lung preservation. We have performed a prospective multicenter study to compare the role of these cold-storage solutions on kidney and liver recovery after transplantation. PATIENTS AND METHODS From March 15, 2000 to December 31, 2001, 441 (172 CEL and 269 UW) renal transplants (RT) and 175 (79 CEL and 96 UW) liver transplants (LT) were included in the study. RESULTS Perfusate volume used was significantly lower in the UW group, being 4,732 +/- 796 mL versus 5,826 + 834 mL in the CEL group (P < 0.001). In LT, median total bilirubin serum levels were significantly higher at 5 and 7 posttransplant days in the UW group (90.6 and 92.3 micromol/L, respectively) as compared with CEL (51.3 and 63.4 micromol/L, respectively). After LT, primary nonfunction (PNF) rates in the CEL and UW groups were 3.8% and 4.2% (P = NS) respectively, with 1-year graft and patient survival being 83.3% versus 85.4% (P = NS) and 89.9% versus 90.6% (P = NS). After RT, delayed graft function (DGF) rates were 23.2% and 22.7% (P = NS), respectively; PNF rates were 1.9% and 1.7% (P = NS) respectively, with 1-year graft and patient survival being 92.3% versus 94.2% (P = NS) and 99.4% versus 97.7% (P = NS). CONCLUSIONS CEL solution was shown to be as effective as UW in both liver and kidney preservation. In LT patients, biliary function recovery is significantly better in the CEL group. CEL solution represents an efficacious option in multiorgan harvesting.

Abstract
This analysis is a retrospective characterization of evolving patterns in donor and recipient risk factors for early and late outcomes (survival and freedom from rejection) along with determinants of hospital and 1-year mortality after heart transplantation over a 15-year experience in a single center. Profiles and outcomes were evaluated for procedures performed between 1988 and 1995 (group A, n = 105) versus 1996 and 2003 (group B, n = 218). The following parameters were considered: pretransplant diagnosis, recipient age UNOS status, donor age, total postretrieval ischemic time, donor/recipient size match, and degree of myocardial necrosis at biopsy. Recipients in group B were significantly more compromised as demonstrated by UNOS status (11.4% vs 19.3%; P =.05) and pretransplant pulmonary vascular resistance (2.3 +/- 1.5 vs 3.1 +/- 1.5; P =.04). Marginal donors were more frequently used for group B procedures (21.9% vs 47.7%; P <.0001). Outcomes were significantly more favorable among group B patients in terms of hospital mortality (18.1% vs 10.6%; P =.046), and 1- and 5-year actuarial survival (72.4% vs 83.4%, 60% vs 73.3%, respectively; P =.006). Analysis of the causes of death disclosed a significant reduction in fatal events due to graft failure and acute rejection in group B. No difference emerged with regard to actual freedom from acute rejection. Determinants of hospital mortality were pretransplant diagnosis, UNOS status, donor age, and cardioplegic solution. Transplant era, recipient age, infectious episodes, and ischemic necrosis at biopsy were risk factors for 1-year mortality. We conclude that despite extensive usage of marginal donors and selection of worse candidates, significantly better outcomes were achieved due to improvements in global management strategies.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is associated with an increased risk of acute rejection, delayed graft function, or chronic graft dysfunction. Mitochondria plays a central role in this process. Using an autotransplant pig kidney model, changes in renal function and morphology were determined after different periods of cold ischemia in kidneys preserved in the University of Wisconsin solution (UW), high-Na(+) version of UW (HEH) or Celsior (CEL) a newly developed high-Na(+) solution, with or without trimetazidine (TMZ). Kidney function was better preserved in HEH after 24 hr and particularly 48- and 72-hr cold storage than in CEL and UW. TMZ improved the preservation quality when added to the different solutions tested, particularly after 48- and 72-hr cold storage. Interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy were reduced in HEH with TMZ. CD4(+) T-cell infiltration was also modulated by the preservation conditions. Peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) positive cells infiltration was also modulated by preservation conditions. TMZ was efficient to reduce IRI when added in the various preservation solutions. These results suggest that protection of the mitochondrial function should be a major target to limit IRI. In addition, this study outlines the role of CD4(+) T cells and PBR expression in inflammatory responses after IRI.
