“Paired and Pooled” Transplants?
«

Hello,
I believe the first test for the recipient is an angiogram.
Does the angiogram take place
before
the recipient is being put on the transplant list for a “Paired and Pooled” transplant?
Has anyone any experience of
how long
after the angiogram it takes for a match to be made for a “Paired and Pooled” transplant?
Thank you from Kristina.

I don't think the pre-transplant testing is any different for a "paired and pooled" transplant than for any other type of transplant. An angiogram is done to ensure that the recipient's cardiovascular system can survive surgery. No matter what kind of transplant you get, you still have to be cleared for surgery. Once you are cleared for surgery, THEN the process for finding a match begins.
Good luck, Kristina!

Thank you MooseMon,
The reason for my asking is, that my husband is ready to donate, but our bloodgroups don't match
and the transplant-nephrological-department has developed
a "Paired and Pooled" transplant-programme for such particular "cases"...
... Problems is, that there seem to be more "recipients in waiting" with my blood-group
and more donors having my husband's blood group in this particular transplant-programme
and because of this, I am wondering,
how much time
it may take to wait for the "Paired and Pooled" transplant,
after
the angiogram has been done...?
Thanks from Kristina.
