“…We also observed the previously reported extremely favorable long-term post-EBK results, with low rates of late vascular complications such as graft artery stenosis, and a graft survival that meets or even exceeds long-term outcomes observed with standard criteria grafts from adult deceased or older live donors. 4,5,19,31,32 Our observations have several important clinical and pro- (2) the contribution, if any, of cold ischemia time to our results (as preservation times were very long for nearly all grafts); and (3) the impact of the imported vs local origin of the grafts (as nearly all grafts had been imported). Additionally, we did not assess the implication of ureteral complications using a bladder patch in our patient population, as most of our grafts were recovered at different centers, and there was no way to direct the recovery surgeons to do so even if this had been desired.…”
