Abstract
- We report on a trial of partial kidney transplantation performed on a low body weight child with impaired cardiac function due to mitral valve stenosis and uremic cardiomyopathy. The weight of the donated kidney was successfully reduced by one-third using bench surgery in order to obtain sufficient graft perfusion and function. Our procedure is justified when a graft is too large to be adequately perfused in a recipient suffering from cardiac failure.
