Rescue of Transplanted Kidney Thanks to an Implantable Doppler Probe: Is This the Future?

Abstract

Observing graft blood supply post kidney transplantation is essential. Compromised graft perfusion must be identified without delay to preserve organ survival. Implantable probes have revolutionised the graft monitoring process in kidney transplantation leading to safe, continuous, and distinct monitoring of blood supply. The Implantable Cook-Swartz Doppler Flow Monitoring System allows immediate salvaging of a compressed kidney. The implantable Doppler probe can easily and effectively identify such cases and save the limited number of organs that are available to today's patients.
