This high powered photomicrograph better illustrates the sinusoidal damage
seen during cold preservation of a liver allograft. Note the large areas
in the sinusoids that are devoid of endothelial cells. This results in
loss of the anti-thrombogenic milieu and therefore, a predisposition
to sinusoidal
thrombosis and areas inadequate sanguinous reperfusion.
