Multi-organ-harvesting, living related organ donation and a continuing extension of donor age are well known methods to overcome the shortage of suitable cadaveric organs for transplantation. With an appropriate technique even neonatal grafts can be successfully grafted. When specific organ damage is excluded, kidneys, livers, hearts and pancreas from donors as old as sixty-five, fifty-five, fifty-five and sixty years, respectively, can be used for transplantation with satisfactory results.
