Twenty-four- and 48-hour Canine Liver Preservation by Simple Hypothermia with Prostacyclin

Abstract
Canine livers were preserved by simple hypothermic storage using modified Sacks'' solution and prostacyclin. Orthotopic liver transplantation was then carried out. Five of 6 and 3 of 5 livers preserved for 24 and 48 h, respectively, were able to sustain life for more than 5 days.
