In many patients with end-stage organ dysfunction, solid organ transplantation has emerged as the treatment of choice; however, the paucity of suitable organ donors has placed severe limits on the number of transplants being performed. Given the limitation of available organ donors and number of deaths on the waiting list, many transplant programs have expanded selection criteria to include older, higher risk donors in order to offer transplants to more patients. Despite the increased use of higher risk donors, outcomes have continued to improve as experience has accrued. Unfortunately, the number of patients awaiting transplantation continues to grow at a faster rate than the number of available donors.
