Abstract | BACKGROUND:
Celsior is a recently developed extracellular-type preservation solution that is effective in organ preservation. This experimental study was designed to compare the effects of Celsior and University of Wisconsin (UW) solutions in myocardial protection, using 12-hour preservation followed by orthotopic transplantation. METHODS: RESULTS: Hemodynamic parameters including cardiac output, left ventricular pressure (LVP), and the maximum rates of positive and negative increase of LVP after transplantation were significantly (p < 0.05) higher in the Celsior group than in the UW group 2 hours after weaning from CPB. The transmission electron microscopic study found that degeneration of the mitochondria in the Celsior group was less extensive than in the UW group. CONCLUSION:
