Abstract:
All over the world, transplant teams are looking for ways to increase and improve the donor pool. Non-heart-beating donation may increase the number of donors, even if some technical, logistical, and emotional problems are still encountered. The results obtained by our team should stimulate other centers to implement this kind of donation in their hospitals. Herein we have described our experience with non-heart-beating donation.
