Selection and Management of the Lung Donor

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2011
This article reviews recent developments in the selection, assessment, and management of the potential lung donor that aim to increase donor organ use. The scarcity of suitable donor organs results in long waiting times and significant mortality for those patients awaiting transplant.

Selecting the best haploidentical donor

Seminars in Hematology, 2016
The substantial evidence of the safety of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-haploidentical (haplo) blood or marrow transplantation (BMT) has led to its increasing utilization. When prioritizing HLA-matched grafts, patients frequently have few or no donors from whom to choose. However, a given patient may have multiple suitable haplo donors.

Corneal Donor Material Selection

Ophthalmology, 1981
The authors conducted the first long-range study to demonstrate possible negative effects on the recipients of corneal transplantation from donors who had died of a systemic malignancy or of chronic neurologic disease. The results are reported of a long-term retrospective analysis of 73 patients who received 86 grafts from donors with various systemic ...

DONOR HEART SELECTION: WYTHENSHAWE EXPERIENCE

Transplantation, 2004
The decline in the number of suitable donor hearts has led to an increasing interest in the use of previously unacceptable donors. This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of recipients of donor hearts considered medically unsuitable for transplantation at this center that were used in other centers in the United Kingdom.Forty donor hearts (group 1 ...

Donor selection and management

2016
Lung transplantation has continued to evolve at a rapid pace since Dr. James Hardy performed the first human lung transplant in Jackson, Mississippi, in 1963. In the subsequent 10 years, 36 lung transplants were performed worldwide with catastrophic failures that usually occurred within a few days following transplantation. In 1981, Dr.

Donor and Recipient Selection

1991
Kidney transplantation has evolved from an experiment to the preferred form of replacement therapy for the majority of patients suffering from end-stage renal disease (ESRD) (1,2). During the 1980s, the number of transplants performed in the United States increased yearly, but has now plateaued at about 10,000 cases per year due primarily to the ...

Selection and Management of the Donor

2007
The concept of brain death or coma depasse, as opposed to clinical death, which is the absence of all vital signs, was first formulated by Mollaret and Goulon in 19591. As could be expected, this new concept of death evoked considerable controversy in both medical and lay circles.

Biomarkers and Donor Selection in Heart Transplantation

Transplantation Proceedings, 2019
Previously, we showed that B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) measured in the donor was related to cardiac performance after cardiac transplantation. The present study assesses the value of 3 biomarkers in the selection of donor hearts in a larger cohort.Blood samples were prospectively obtained in 105 brain-dead patients scheduled for heart donation ...

Tissue Donor Selection and Safety

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 2005
Authors of recent reports in the medical literature indicate that allograft-associated infection primarily is attributable to violations of proper tissue processing procedures, and illustrate the need for effective quality assurance systems to avoid transplantation of potentially infectious tissue.

Selection of the Donor; Excision and Storage of Donor Organs

1990
The first successful human heart—lung transplantation at Stanford in 19811 evolved as a logical consequence from what was, at that time, the most experienced heart transplant program. Extensive animal research had been performed prior to clinical application, and cyclosporine was available for immunosuppression2. These were probably the key reasons for
