BACKGROUND Success of pediatric liver transplantation has improved significantly. Most posttransplant deaths occur early and are related to surgical complications or recipient status at the time of transplantation. The causes of mortality beyond the first year have not been well described. METHODS Three hundred twenty-six pediatric liver transplants were performed between November 1989 and Ap...

Improving survival rates following pediatric bone marrow transplantation (BMT) will likely result in greater numbers of children progressing to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) because of prior chemotherapy, irradiation, sepsis, and exposure to nephrotoxic agents. Renal transplantation remains the treatment of choice for ESRD; however, the safety of renal transplantation in this unique population...

I NTESTINAL transplantation has become a feasible option for total parenteral nutrition (TPN)-dependent patients with short gut syndrome. Crucial to the long-term success of small intestine transplantation is the recipient's ability to maintain an adequate oral intake. It was of particular concern that some pediatric patients would not eat postoperatively and therefore required enteral feeds fo...

O transplantation requires explicit rationing and relies on public trust and altruism to sustain the organ supply. The well-publicized cases of two pediatric candidates for lung transplants have shaken the transplant community with emergency legal injunctions arguing that current lung-allocation policy is “arbitrary and capricious.” Although the resulting transplantation seemingly provided an u...

Although severe heart failure is less common among the pediatric population than in adults, many pediatric patients develop terminal stage cardiac failure. For such patients, heart transplantation is the only hope of survival. However, heart transplantation in children is illegal in Japan and therefore impossible to perform. At present, only children from families with enough financial resource...
