Summary

The authors describe the design of a double clamp which holds the artery during transportation and storage, preventing twisting, shortening, and collapse of the vessel. The device allowed perfusion with solutions as desired and markedly reduced the extent of endothelial loss during procurement and processing. They also studied the effects of three vehicle solutions. Arteries cryopreserved using corneal endothelium as the vehicle solution showed less endothelial cell damage than arteries preserved with either of the two other ones (including Hanks' solution).
