Abstract
A subtle but important part of the success of cadaveric renal transplantation has been effective and prolonged organ preservation. During the early 1970s, pulsatile perfusion for preservation of kidneys was used by the majority of centres in the United States. This gradually changed later in the decade to a predominance of simple cold storage. There were a number of reasons for this change, including reports demonstrating few or no benefits of pulsatile perfusion over cold storage, as well as the perception that cold storage was significantly easier to accomplish from a technical standpoint and was less expensive. Interestingly, there now appears to be a trend towards pulsatile perfusion.
