Abstract
Use of pulsatile perfusion to optimize outcomes in deceased donor kidney transplantation remains controversial. This study is a retrospective analysis of all cadaveric renal allografts procured locally by our center over a 3-year period. Kidney pairs were identified in which one kidney underwent pulsatile perfusion and transplantation at our center, whereas the contra-lateral kidney underwent cold storage and transplantation at another center. Eighty-eight percent of the exported kidneys were six-antigen matches. Study outcomes included 1-year graft and patient survival, delayed graft function, and need for posttransplant dialysis. Recipients had similar demographic and disease characteristics. Survival for pulsatile perfusion and cold storage were 95% and 88% (graft, P=0.43) and 98% and 90% (patient, P=0.36), respectively. The incidence of delayed graft function was 5% and 35% (P<0.01), whereas posttransplant dialysis was 5% and 30% (P<0.01), for pulsatile perfusion and cold storage, respectively. These data support routine use of pulsatile perfusion.Keywords
