Functional Human Liver Preservation and Recovery by Means of Subnormothermic Machine Perfusion
Published on: April 27, 2015
Abstract:
Following the revised 1987 AGA, at least to the extent of correct interaction with donor families, can reduce organ waiting times to nominal within a decade, and could save about $360 million per year. Fear of lawsuits is no excuse for not implementing the revised AGA guidelines. Following the 1987 AGA revision in its entirety is non-controversial and its improvements are easy to implement. Several other system improvements which could also help were suggested. To optimize the system, the concept of 'intestate as to organs' should be implemented. It has precedent and is ethical. Compensation for burial expenses is not recommended.
