Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.
Guest: C. Burcin Taner, M.D.
Recently, the criteria for organ donors have expanded in order to address the increasing difference between the number of available organs and the demand for transplants. Advancements in medical technology, a better understanding of transplant immunology, and the improvement of transplant surgery techniques have allowed for the inclusion of a greater pool of donors with various health conditions, which excluded them as donors in the past. Understanding the delicate balance between expanding the criteria for transplantation and maintaining a high quality of life for the recipients has been important in advancing the field of organ transplantation. The topic for this podcast is “Expanded Donor Criteria for Organ Transplantation” and my guest is C. Burcin Taner, M.D., Professor of Surgery and Chair of the Department of Transplantation at the Florida campus of the Mayo Clinic.
