<p>An organ preservation solution, particularly valuable in the preservation of mammalian hearts intended for transplantation, contains, in aqueous solution, at least about 3 % by weight of polypropylene glycol having an average molecular weight of at least about 15,000 daltons and being free of material retained by 10 micron filtration, a buffer buffering the pH of the solution perfusate to a value in the range of about 7.1 to about 7.5, and an impermeant composition for retarding the passage of water across cell membranes of an organ treated with the solution.</p> |
