In vitro and In vivo assessment of a novel organ perfusion stent for successful flow separation in donation after cardiac death.

Shortage of healthy donors' organs has appeared as one of the main challenges for organ transplantation. This study focuses on the novel endovascular device development to increase the number of available organs from cardiac death donors. The primary objective of this study is the design validation of a newly developed stent graft for the abdominal organ perfusion with cardiac blood flow isolation.
