From Garet Hil, founder of the National Kidney Registry:

Congratulations to the centers below for successfully completing 17 more transplants over the past 3 days. All donors and recipients are doing well. This week’s transplants included the completion of a 22 deep chain (44 participants) that started at UTMC in November and ended at Sharp yesterday. This chain is the largest swap in the world.
