Discussion This experiment was based on data that oxygenated perfusion of NHBD livers will promote cellular recovery from warm ischaemic injury. (Schon, 1994: S159-62) Without perfusion, cold storage exacerbates the injury by subjecting the organ to additional (cold) ischaemia; then, during surgical anastomosis in the recipient, another period of warm ischaemia. These consecutive ischaemic periods facilitate the progression of cellular injury to a state that is not compatible with recovery upon
