Xenotransplantation refers to the transplantation of organs between different species.
But, unfortunately, its success has caused demand to far outstrip supply. This is due primarily to a shortage of available human donor organs. Various initiatives have been introduced such as publicity campaigns, distribution of donor cards, appointment of transplant coordinators, implementation of protocols in hospitals, and action programs for public and professionals. These efforts have not been sufficient to increase the donor supply significantly. In the United States in 1993 there were about 32,000 patients waiting for different organs.
