flight. The trip lasted 2.5 h and the kidney was transplanted into ‘D’ after 4 h of cold ischemia at the HVN. During this time, the kidney of ‘C’ remained in cold ischemia until the plane that landed in Granada came back to Barcelona and was transplanted in ‘E’ with 5 h and 15 min of cold ischemia. At 7:30 PM, the transplant was completed and the chain was closed (Fig. 1). The donors of both hospitals were discharged at 3 and 4 days, respectively. Two of the three recipients were discharged on the seventh day with a creatinine of 1.2 and 1.4 mg/dl. The third recipient showed a perirenal hematoma which required surgical revision, being discharged on the tenth day with creatinine of 1.2 mg/dl. The experience with the first chain of transplants performed in Spain has been very positive, considering that three receptors have been transplanted thanks to an altruistic donor. This new pathway in renal transplantation opens the door to a large number of patients who could potentially benefit from this possibility.
