Abstract
We report successful pancreas and renal transplantations from a brain‐dead victim of cyanide poisoning. A 41‐year‐old diabetic man with pre‐end‐stage renal failure received the pancreas and the right kidney. The left kidney was implanted in a 27‐yr‐old woman with chronic renal failure. Postoperative evolution was not complicated. At 6 months, grafts function remains excellent. The management of cyanide poisoning, especially in the setting of organ donation, is discussed.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
