Nonischemic heart preservation 

Cardiothoracic bioengineers at Lund University have developed a device that better sustains “blood” flow in a transplantable heart during transport.  “The nonischemic heart-preservation (NIHP) system is . . .  a portable device approved for ground and airborne transportation. The heart is continuously perfused with a cold (8 °C) oxygenated cardioplegic nutrition–hormone solution containing erythrocytes from the blood bank. This is in contrast to the organ care system which uses a warm, noncardioplegic preservation solution containing donor blood.”  Notice in Figure 1 the formula for the preservative.  MORE
