Paediatric cardiac transplantation
Research activity includes heart transplantation in children and surgical care for congenital heart malformation in paediatric patients, with a strong focus on myocardial protection and cardioplegia in the perioperative setting.
- Paediatric heart transplantation
- Congenital heart malformation
- Myocardial protection
- Cardioplegia
The portfolio centres on cardiac preservation and postoperative cardiac safety in children undergoing complex heart surgery.
Liver transplantation
Clinical research also covers liver transplantation, with attention to graft preservation and hepatic function after transplantation, including monitoring of liver injury markers such as ALT.
- Graft preservation
- Hepatic function
- ALT monitoring
- Post-transplant liver injury
This area reflects interest in protecting transplanted liver tissue and supporting early postoperative organ performance.
Kidney and kidney-pancreas transplantation
Another key domain is kidney transplantation and kidney-pancreas transplantation, where the emphasis is on organ preservation, graft function, and limiting ischemic injury after transplantation.
- Kidney transplantation
- Kidney-pancreas transplantation
- Graft function
- Ischemic injury
The sponsor’s work in this field is directed toward maintaining transplanted organ viability across abdominal transplant procedures.
Organ preservation solutions
A recurring theme across the research portfolio is the evaluation of organ preservation solutions for transplant surgery, with particular interest in Custodiol and Custodiol-N for cardiac, hepatic, renal, and multiorgan transplantation.
- Organ preservation
- Custodiol
- Custodiol-N
- Multiorgan transplantation
This area links the sponsor to perioperative support strategies aimed at improving protection of donor organs before and during transplantation.
