More than 650 people are currently waiting for a donor in Austria. The number of available organs, on the other hand, is considerably lower. A new method for organ reservation can give patients hope. It is already being used successfully in Innsbruck.
Measured by the number of interventions, the University Clinic in Innsbruck is the largest transplant center in Austria. The 5000th kidney has recently been transplanted here. And with the help of a procedure that significantly changes transplant medicine. The so -driven machine perfusion makes it possible to keep organs warm and provided with blood. This gives the doctors valuable time because the organs take longer. The cool method is still cool. But organs are only killed for a few hours.
