- Authors
Bein, Thomas; Combes, Alain; Meyfroidt, Geert
- Abstract
Even if an impressive number of 6.337 organs from 1837 donors were transplanted in the Eurotransplant region in 2020 (a reduction of 667 donors compared to 2019), at the end of the year, the active waiting list remains high, with 14,020 patients (of whom 3502 on the waiting list for heart, lung, or liver transplantation) still in need of an organ upon which their lives depend [[1]]. Nowadays, several techniques for organ preservation, either in situ, ex situ, or with machine perfusion, exist and allow for good quality of transplantable organs, and overall good results in the transplanted recipient [[5]].
