Normothermic machine perfusion of the liver -- Heart preservation: conventional versus novel techniques -- Hypothermic machine perfusion of kidneys -- Hypothermic machine perfusion of livers -- Hypothermic perfusion of pancreas: emphasis on preservation prior to islet isolation -- Methods of cardiac oxygen persufflation -- Vascular oxygen persufflation for preservation and reconditioning of marginal liver grafts -- Use of optical imaging and spectroscopy in assessment of organ perfusion -- Preparation of a transplantable liver graft by the recellularization of a decellularized whole organ -- Engineering Lung tissue -- Detergent-enzymatic method for bioengineering human airways -- Ex vivo perfusion of Rat Liver grafts for hepatocyte retrieval -- Technique of clinical vascular isolation and perfusion of the liver.

Written and edited by recognized experts in the field, the new Artech House Methods in Bioengineering book series offers detailed guidance on authoritative methods for addressing specific bioengineering challenges. Offering a highly practical presentation of each topic, each book provides research engineers, scientists, and students with step-by-step procedures, clear examples, and effective ways to overcome problems that may be encountered. This first-of-its-kind volume addresses the important challenge of organ preservation and reengineering. The book presents cutting-edge techniques for damaged livers and hearts via normothermic perfusion, hypothermic machine perfusion for the liver, kidney and pancreas, and imaging techniques to assess the viability of injured kidneys. You also find methods to decellularize whole organs to create scaffolds for tissue engineering. Moreover, the book presents an approach to enhancing hepatocyte recovery from marginal livers.
