Abstract: | In order to increase the supply of transplantable organs, an increasing number of organ procurement organizations are adopting policies regarding donations from non-heart-beating donors. Few centers, however, actually recover and transplant these organs. This article reviews a case in which kidneys and livers imported from out of state were successfully recovered from a non-heart-beating donor and transplanted. In addition, the article demonstrates how cooperation and flexibility in transplant personnel can increase the number of organs transplanted from a non-heart-beating donor. |
