PR, perfusion rate; CPR, corrected perfusion rate, mL/min for maintaining an ICP of 90 mmHg; %, drainage percentage of each corresponding component. AMI, acute myocardial infarction; NA, not applicable; TOD, interval after death before being refrigerated; CPRAC, calculated perfusion rate of the arterial contribution (mL/min) as it is assumed that the penile artery is a drainage source in cadavers. This was done after penile arterial ligation. Data derived.
a
Before venous removal.
b
After removal of the DDV.
c
After removal of the CVs.
d
After ligation of the PAVs.
