Triple-Swap Transplant
A novel way of matching organ donors and recipients,
one that has the potential to boost kidney transplants
among those with willing but incompatible donors,
caught the public's attention this past summer when
Hopkins surgeons performed what is believed to be
the first three-way, paired kidney swap. Paired
kidney exchanges link together incompatible donor/recipient
pairs. Each twosome gets a kidney and gives one
up. Since 2001, four of these exchanges, each involving
four people, have been performed here. This one
took three pairs-two sisters, two friends and an
engaged couple-to make the perfect matches.
