A correction has been made to the section Results, Sub Section “Glycocalyx Damage Parameters during NMP”, Subsub Section “Heparan Sulfate”, Paragraph “1”. The Sentence: “No significant dynamics of heparan sulfate were observed during NMP (p = 0.100) (Figure 4)” has been changed to: “No significant dynamics of heparan sulfate were observed during NMP (p = 0.100) (Figure 2).”

A correction has been made to the section Section “Results”, Sub Section “Outcome Associations of Glycocalyx Injury During NMP”, Paragraph “1”. The Sentence: “Furthermore, perfusate syndecan-1 values where significantly higher in grafts of recipients who developed EAD (n = 10) compared to those without EAD (n = 11) (4,331.5 (4,180.3–5,033.7) ng/mL vs. 2,800.7 (2,480.5–3,618.7) ng/mL; p = 0.024 and 9,379.7 (6,181–104,923) ng/mL vs. 4,338.9 (3,730–6,201.3) ng/mL; p = 0.013 and 8,663.6 (6,926.2–11,551.9) ng/mL vs. 5,096.5 (3,795–5,679.5) ng/mL; p = 0.013) (Figure 2).” should be changed to: “Furthermore, perfusate syndecan-1 values where significantly higher in grafts of recipients who developed EAD (n = 10) compared to those without EAD (n = 11) (4,331.5 (4,180.3–5,033.7) ng/mL vs. 2,800.7 (2,480.5–3,618.7) ng/mL; p = 0.024 and 9,379.7 (6,181–104,923) ng/mL vs. 4,338.9 (3,730–6,201.3) ng/mL; p = 0.013 and 8,663.6 (6,926.2–11,551.9) ng/mL vs. 5,096.5 (3,795–5,679.5) ng/mL; p = 0.013) (Figure 3).”

A correction has been made to the section Section “Results”, Sub Section “Outcome Associations of Glycocalyx Injury During NMP”, Paragraph “2”. The Sentence: “Grafts that were classified as transplantable (n = 23) exhibited significantly lower syndecan-1 levels at the onset of perfusion (3,892.6 (2,883.7–4,561.2) ng/mL) and after six hours of perfusion (5,915.7 (4,082.2–9,379.7) ng/mL) when compared to grafts that were classified as unsuitable for transplantation due to their metabolic profile (5,653.7 (5,074–11,706.6) ng/mL; p = 0.001 and 7,764.8 (7,133.6–12,740.7) ng/mL; p = 0.037) (Figure 3).” should be changed to “Grafts that were classified as transplantable (n = 23) exhibited significantly lower syndecan-1 levels at the onset of perfusion (3,892.6 (2,883.7–4,561.2) ng/mL) and after six hours of perfusion (5,915.7 (4,082.2–9,379.7) ng/mL) when compared to grafts that were classified as unsuitable for transplantation due to their metabolic profile (5,653.7 (5,074–11,706.6) ng/mL; p = 0.001 and 7,764.8 (7,133.6–12,740.7) ng/mL; p = 0.037) (Figure 4).”

A correction has been made to the section Section “Results”, Sub Section “Glycocalyx Damage Parameters in the Recipient”, Paragraph “2”. The Sentence: “However, from postoperative day 1 to postoperative day 2 (24.3 (13.2–35.1) ng/mL; p = 0.006) and postoperative day 3 (18.7 (10.1–30.8) ng/mL; p = 0.008), heparan sulfate levels experienced a decrease, reaching values below the preoperative baseline (p = 0.006) (Figure 4).” should be changed to “However, from postoperative day 1 to postoperative day 2 (24.3 (13.2–35.1) ng/mL; p = 0.006) and postoperative day 3 (18.7 (10.1–30.8) ng/mL; p = 0.008), heparan sulfate levels experienced a decrease, reaching values below the preoperative baseline (p = 0.006) (Figure 2).”
