      Lorna Marson
      In these case studies, challenging organs are offered to our experts to discuss whether or not they should be accepted for transplantation. The cases highlight the need to give careful consideration of risk to the recipient, and that clinicians will accept different levels of risk depending on recipient characteristics.
