Heart and Lung Offer Acceptance Practices Are Associated with Organ Yield and Local Placement
A. Wey, M. Skeans, N. Salkowski, B. Kasiske, A. Israni, J. Snyder.
SRTR, Minneapolis.
Below average offer acceptance practices could delay placement of donor hearts and lungs and may ultimately lead to organ discard. Recovered thoracic organs are rarely…

Predicting Survival after Deceased-Donor Kidney Transplants by Donor-Recipient Match: Who Can Tolerate a High-KDPI Kidney?
S. Bae, J. Garonzik Wang, K. Jackson, A. Thomas, X. Luo, A. Massie, D. Segev.
Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD.
Deceased-donor kidney transplantation (DDKT) with high-KDPI kidneys carries an additional risk of mortality and graft failure, which could be tolerable for some candidates but detrimental…
