✦ Synopsis

Without a doubt, the greatest challenge facing solid organ transplantation today is the shortage of organs. Transplant waiting lists extend miles beyond the transplant volume, and this leaves many patients who would benefit from transplantation stranded, without access to what is often life-saving therapy. The dramatic need for transplantation and its success have driven transplant surgeons to venture further and further into previously unexplored donor territory to corral more organs. This has been well captured by the concept of the expanded or marginal criteria donor.
