This edited volume explores current research and future developments in transplantation medicine. Key sections include advances in organ preservation, mechanical circulatory support, and emerging fields such as organ transplantation from cardiac death donors (DCD), pediatric application of ventricular assist device (VAD), immunological tolerance and xenotransplantation. With contributions from leading U.S. experts in pediatric VAD therapy, DCD heart and lung transplantations, combined heart and kidney transplantation, the book provides a forward-looking perspective on how these innovations will transform the field. The book also details the historical journey of organ transplantation in Japan, from its early challenges to the significant revival of heart transplantation in 1999. It presents the impressive clinical results achieved at the First Department of Surgery at Osaka University Medical School.
