Multiple organ harvesting for transplantation.
Successful multiple organ harvesting is essential to maintain the supply of extrarenal organs for transplantation. In this study, the clinical experience using multiple organ harvesting techniques in conjunction with subsequent renal, pancreatic and cardiac transplantation is reviewed. These clinical results should encourage more frequent application of these techniques in the clinical organ procurement setting.
