Out of the ice age: Preservation of cardiac allografts with a reusable 10 °C cooler
This is an early experience of static preservation in a 10 °C cooler. Postoperative allograft function was excellent, and lactate profiles lower in those allografts with extended ischemic times. Static cold storage targeting 10 °C may offer an inexpensive method for extended heart preservation. Further investigation is needed to assess long-term outcomes of 10 °C storage.
