In response to persistent donor organ shortages, organs from
marginal donors, such as expanded criteria donors (ECD) and
donation after cardiac death (DCD) donors, are now accepted and
have been successfully transplanted, reducing the waiting times for
transplantation. Especially in Japan, transplantation of DCD
kidneys has a relatively long history because of the difficulty or
lack of national consensus in accepting brain death, which has made
it possible to accumulate considerable clinical experience. Thus,
the current organ shortage has stimulated interest in the use of
marginal donors for transplantation. On the other hand, however, it
is known that these organs have a high rate of delayed graft
function and a more complicated postoperative course. These
drawbacks have created the greatest clinical challenge in
transplantation to date because of the current shortage and
limitations of donors using ECD and DCD. This book, prepared by
distinguished authorities in their fields, is intended for
clinicians and researchers. It highlights the use of marginal
donors as a comparatively novel source of transplantation organs
and provides a thorough overview of marginal donors from their
historical origins to recent clinical applications, including the
state-of-the-art science of organ/donor management, procurement,
and preservation. Also provided is valuable information on
ABO-incompatible donors which extend the availability of donor
sources. Each chapter offers an individual analysis of the optimal
requirements for the safe management and preservation of organs,
including the heart, lung, liver, kidney, pancreas, and pancreatic
islets.
