title: Vascular changes following hypothermic preservation.
abstract: This study identifies ultrastructural changes in the endothelium due to hypothermic HP-5 perfusion. These changes appear to be reversible and a manifestation of hypothermic hypoxia. This data provides a basis for improving perfusion techniques in both hypothermic preservation and cryoprotectant introduction and removal for cryopreservation.
