They are often the extremely sick and have the smallest window of opportunity for survival, experts explain. And because of their small size, doctors often face difficulty in finding suitable hearts for them. "There are just a lot less actual donors available, and the numbers of infants being transplanted as a primary procedure for congenital heart disease, instead of trying other surgical procedures first, has increased," says Dr. Linda J. Addonizio, medical director of the Pediatric Cardiac Transplant Program at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in New York City.

163. Stem Cell Transplants For The Heart Face Uncertainties Stem Cell transplants for the Heart Face Uncertainties. By Nancy TouchettePosted November 26, 2003. Doctors determine area of patient s http://www.genomenewsnetwork.org/articles/11_03/heart_stem_cells.shtml

Home About Topics Subscribe Stem Cell Transplants for the Heart Face Uncertainties By Nancy Touchette Posted: November 26, 2003 Doctors determine area of patient's heart in which to inject stem cells harvested from the patient's own blood. Image courtesy William Beaumont Hospital. Doctors treating heart patients are encouraged by studies showing that stem cells can heal the heart and are anxious to move the experimental procedure into the clinic. But United States government officials are concerned about possible risks to patients and are reluctant to permit the procedures without more basic data. Earlier this year, doctors in Michigan performed an experimental procedure to save the life of a 16-year-old boy who had been injured in a freak accident. The teen had been shot in the heart with an automatic nail gun and suffered a massive heart attack. To prevent further damage to his heart doctors injected him with a concentrated dose of stem cells from his own blood. His doctors feared that without the stem cell transplant, damage would have spread to other areas of the heart and cardiac function would have deteriorated significantly. But tests conducted at his six-month follow-up exam revealed substantial improvement in heart function. However, shortly after doctors at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan, announced the results of their treatment, they received a call from an official with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

165. Lack Of Livers For Transplants Makes Doctors Less Selective Lack of livers for transplants makes doctors less selective. Sunday,May 09, 2004. By Christopher Snowbeck, Pittsburgh PostGazette http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04130/313595.stm

Previous Articles Health Science Environment Lack of livers for transplants makes doctors less selective Sunday, May 09, 2004 By Christopher Snowbeck, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Because of the chronic shortage of livers available for transplant, the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and hospitals across the country are turning to "expanded-criteria" donors to recover livers that previously would have been passed over. The practice raises ethical questions, some believe, and the New York Health Department announced last month it would create a committee to study the trend in the wake of an investigation at a liver transplant unit in Rochester, N.Y. The current transplant chief at UPMC ran the Rochester unit during some of the years investigated by New York officials. Although these livers are obtained from donors who are older or sicker than considered optimal, it's far from clear that there's anything wrong with the trend. Use of livers from expanded-criteria donors helped UPMC in 2002 reverse a 12-year decrease in the number of liver transplants performed at Oakland hospitals. Patient and graft survival for 2002 showed one of the best outcomes ever for the Pitt program, said transplant administrator William Morris. Dr. Goran Klintmalm, chairman of the Baylor Regional Transplant Institute in Dallas, said it's still not clear whether there's a higher incidence of impaired liver function and worse patient survival after these transplants, but he remains a strong proponent.

Home Transplants now treat feline kidney disease Tuesday, October 01, 2002 By Deborah Weisberg Mr. Saul may look like any other black domestic shorthair, but the 5-year-old North Huntingdon cat is perhaps the only feline in Western Pennsylvania living with a transplanted kidney. Andy Hummell of North Huntingdon with lucky Mr. Saul on the back of the sofa and kidney donor Oscar in his arms. (Annie O'Neill, Post-Gazette) He received a healthy organ from a shelter cat who might otherwise have been euthanized in a $7,000 operation at the Veterinary Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. The school has done 70 such procedures in the past five years. Mr. Saul's owner, Andrew Hummell, a 34-year-old sales engineer, chose the surgery in May 2001 when kidney failure was about to wipe out Mr. Saul's ninth life. So far, Mr. Saul is among the majority of cats doing well more than a year after transplantation. Another local cat, the only other that Penn has transplanted, was 11 at the time of the transplant and lived a little more than a year afterward before dying of liver cancer.

171. Should Violent Felons Recieve Organ Transplants? Should Violent Felons Receive Organ transplants? Let’s save organ transplantsfor nonviolent citizens who need them through no fault of their own. http://www.scu.edu/ethics/publications/submitted/Perry/transplant.html

About the Center Events Ethics Home Focus Areas ... Site Index Should Violent Felons Receive Organ Transplants? by David L. Perry, Ph.D. On January 3, a convicted felon was given a new heart at Stanford Medical Center. The cost of the transplant and years of post-operative care may reach $1 million, courtesy of California taxpayers. Most people would no doubt find it troubling that a criminal would get a major organ transplant while hundreds of law-abiding citizens who desperately need that organ are made to wait. Imagine watching a loved one die for lack of a heart, then reading in the paper the story about our fortunate felon. But according to Russ Heimerich of the Dept. of Corrections, as quoted by Steve Wiegand of the Sacramento Bee (25 January 2002), "The courts have told us that inmates have a constitutional right to health care. The judge did not sentence this guy to death. And who knows, he may get out and become a productive citizen." Wiegand went on to explain, "In 1976 the U.S. Supreme Court held that ‘deliberate indifference’ to a prison inmate’s health problems constituted cruel and unusual punishment and thus violated the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution. Since then, hundreds of subsequent cases have established that inmates have a right to medical care equal to that of the public in general."

I am a science and medical writer and the author of Cancer Clinical Trials: Experimental Treatments and How They Can Help You Organ Transplants: Making the Most of Your Gift of Life . It was published in February 2000, and is available for purchase at Amazon.com. In Organ Transplants I tell the organ recipient, the potential organ recipient, and his or her family what to expect from this life-changing event. Transplant professionals like to say that a transplant does not restore a person to perfect health. On the contrary, the recipient is merely changing one serious medical condition for another. Transplant recipients need to cope with the lifetime responsibility of taking anti-rejection medications, many of which have significant side effects. They have to dodge the twin perils of infection and rejection. They have to deal with the emotional and financial consequences of transplant. Told from the medical consumer's point of view, Organ Transplants will help the recipient cope with this often overwhelming situation.
