Surgical Refinement in Porcine Renal Autotransplantation – Flattening the Learning Curve in an Established Training Program
As machine perfusion approaches and xenotransplantation are increasing in the spotlight of clinical interest, setting up a reliable and reproducible model for pRaTx is critical for translational research. As we could show, the pRaTx model requires an optimized team approach to refine the procedure.
