The waiting lists for organ transplants worldwide could get dramatically shorter thanks to a revolutionary new procedure that would make donor organs compatible with any patient no matter their blood type.
Canadian researchers with the University Health Network have developed a method that would convert the blood type of a donor organ to type O blood, the universal blood type, allowing it to be transplanted into anyone in need.
'With the current matching system, wait times can be considerably longer for patients who need a transplant depending on their blood type,' Dr. Marcelo Cypel, a thoracic surgeon who co-authored the study, said.
