If someone's organ is failing and they don't have a willing and compatible family member who can donate, say, a kidney or part of their liver, often that person joins a waiting list for years. voice-verified

Some never get a successful transplant. voice-verified

Newer models of so-called paired donations have helped improve rates of live organ transplants. voice-verified

These allow donors from different families or groups to exchange organs to get around the problem of incompatibility. voice-verified

Until recently, paired donations have been like for like, so one kidney exchanged for another. voice-verified

But earlier this year, a case study in the American Journal of Transplantation described the very first case of a bi-organ paired exchange, where one family's kidney was swapped for another family's liver. voice-verified
