We will share our experience performing xenotransplantation (transplantation of genetically modified pig kidneys into human bodies) and the role of xenotransplantation in the search for new sources of viable organs for people facing life-threatening diseases. The transplant team will review the context and process of xenotransplantation, including histocompatibility testing, and discuss the findings and remaining questions from recent cases. The transfusion medicine team will discuss transfusion needs in this patient population and the approach to providing transfusion support.
Learning Objectives

- Describe histocompatibility testing and demonstrate that human blood products contain clinically significant anti-pig antibodies
- Describe outcomes of recent xenotransplantation studies.
- Describe approach to providing transfusion support.
