•History
01/01/0300 
Comos and Damian Allotransplantation 
In humans was first conceived in the middle 
ages. In this account, the leg of the 
sacristan Deacon Justinian was 
amputated to treat a cancerous lesion. 
Cosmos and Damian, twin Arab brothers 
who were converts to Christianity 
performed the operations.
01/01/1878 
First Sucessful Human to Human Bone 
Transplant 
This operation, which used bone from a 
cadaver, remained unusual because there 
was no way to process and preserve human 
tissues.
09/07/1905 
First successful cornea 
transplant by Eduard Zirm 
(18 March 1863 - 15 March 1944), was 
born in Vienna, Austria. 
That day Zirm first met man blinded in both eyes called 
Glogar. At the same time, a boy was brought to his clinic 
after an accident that left metal pieces in his eyes. The 
attempts to save boy's eyes were unsuccessful. Zirm 
enucleated them and saved the corneas for transplantation 
into Glogar's eyes.

Murray shared the Nobel Prize in 
Physiology or Medicine in 1990. In 1971, 
Dr. Harrison received the Purkinje Medal 
from Czechoslovakia.
1966 
The first pancreas transplantation 
by Richard Lillehei and William Kelly 
(Minnesota, U.S.A.) 
A pancreas along with kidney and duodenum was 
transplanted into a 28-year-old woman and her 
blood sugar levels decreased immediately after 
transplantation, but eventually she died three 
months later from pulmonary embolism.

African cardiac surgeon who 
performed the world's first 
successful human-to-human 
heart transplant. Christian Barnard 
all his life considered Demikhov his 
teacher.

• Types of transplant 
Autograft 
Allograft and allotransplantation 
Isograft 
Xenograft and xenotransplantation 
Split transplants 
Domino transplants
Autotransplantation 
Transplant of tissue to the same person. Sometimes this is 
done with surplus tissue, or tissue that can regenerate, or 
tissues more desperately needed elsewhere (examples 
include skin grafts, vein extraction for CABG, etc.)
Allotransplantation 
and 
Allograft 
An allograft is a transplant of an organ or tissue 
between two genetically non-identical members of 
the same species. 
Due to the genetic difference between the organ 
and the recipient, the recipient's immune system 
will identify the organ as foreign and attempt to 
destroy it, causing transplant rejection.
Isograft 
Isografts are differentiated from other 
types of transplants because while they 
are anatomically identical to allografts, 
they do not trigger an immune response.
Xenograft 
and 
xenotransplantation 
A transplant of organs or tissue from one species to 
another. An example is porcine heart valve transplant, 
which is quite common and successful.
Split transplants 
Sometimes a deceased-donor organ, 
usually a liver, may be divided between 
two recipients, especially an adult and a 
child.
Domino transplants 
This term also refers to a series of living donor 
transplants in which one donor donates to the highest 
recipient on the waiting list and the transplant center 
utilizes that donation to facilitate multiple transplants. 
These other transplants are otherwise impossible due 
to blood type or antibody barriers to transplantation.
•Types of donor 
• Living donor Deceased donor 
Organ donors may be living, or brain dead. That is, 
their breathing and heartbeat has ceased. They are 
referred to as cadaveric donors.
Living donor 
In "living donors", the donor remains alive 
and donates a renewable tissue, cell, or fluid 
(e.g. blood, skin), or donates an organ or part of 
an organ in which the remaining organ can 
regenerate or take on the workload of the rest of 
the organ.
Deceased donor 
Deceased (formerly cadaveric) are donors who 
have been declared brain-dead and whose organs 
are kept viable by ventilators or other mechanical 
mechanisms until they can be excised for 
transplantation. These organs have inferior 
outcomes to organs from a brain-dead donor.

# 9 Spain $ 3,814,000,000.00 
#10 Italy $ 3,641,000,000.00
Here are some statistics and facts 
about organ donation for people over 
50 
Two thirds of the individuals waiting for an organ transplant 
in 2011 were 50 years old or older. That year 2,242 
deceased donors were between 50–64 years of age. Five 
hundred and ninety-five deceased donors were 65 or older.
Donation Problems 
In USA over 78,000 men, women, and children waiting for organ 
transplants, and 14 of these people die every day while waiting to 
receive an organ transplant.. 
More and more people with HIV and/or hepatitis B and/or hepatitis 
C are going to need organ transplants, particularly liver 
transplants.
Problems of 
Transplantation 
The number of donated organs hasstayed fairly constant 
over the last few years while the number of people 
needing organs continues to increase. 
Infection. 
CMV Infection. This is a viral infection which usually 
comes on about four weeks after transplant.
