PURPOSE: The various physiological profiles comprising vascularized composite allografts (VCAs) pose unique challenges to preservation. Minimizing ischemia, reperfusion injury, and rejection remains a primary focus of graft pretreatments (PTs). Currently, the gold standard PT consists of flushing the graft and placing it in static cold storage in the University of Wisconsin solution. With this method, graft viability is limited to 4 to 6 hours. Prolonging this time limit will increase donor allocation radius, access to care, and positive patient outcomes. We aimed to evaluate novel PTs that could potentially enhance and lengthen VCA viability.
METHODS: Following PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, we conducted a comprehensive literature search of EMBASE, Cochrane, and PubMed. Studies had to be published prior to June 15, 2022. PTs had to target cell physiology, rather than immunogenicity. We extracted data including study design, PT details, evaluation metrics, and outcomes.
RESULTS: We identified 13 studies, categorized into 3 groups: solution-based alterations to the gold standard, ex vivo perfusion, and other novel techniques. The incorporation of hydrogen sulfide and Perfadex as solutions in the gold standard protocol demonstrated a 6-day delay in rejection and limited reperfusion injury markers, respectively. In an ex vivo perfusion study, after 24 hours of PT and 12 hours posttransplant, VCA muscle contractility remained close to normal. The gold standard PT did not demonstrate the same success. However, graft weight gain, up to 50% of baseline among the reviewed articles, is a prominent adverse effect of perfusion. Another technique, cryopreservation, displayed 90% graft failure by venous thrombosis, despite high free graft viability following 2 weeks of storage.
CONCLUSIONS: This study of PT modalities found a variety of encouraging preservation techniques for grafts with high levels of tissue diversity. Ex vivo perfusion dominated PT innovation with promising results in preserving the viability and functionality of muscle, which is central to the restoration of movement. Future studies are necessary to evaluate long-term graft outcomes and to optimize PT protocols for extended preservation times to ensure clinical relevance.
