Detailed Description
During open heart surgery and organ transplant, surgeons have to disrupt the blood supply to the organ. Recent studies suggest that free radical production and oxidative stress can occur when the blood supply is returned to the organ, causing complications and tissue damage. Vanderbilt researchers have identified a treatment for oxidative injury that can be administered during surgery to prevent organ damage.
