    AbstractThe shortage of donated organs has become a problem in transplantation throughout the world. Transplant teams are looking for other ways to increase and improve the donor pool. Non-heart-beating donation may be a source to increase the number of donors, even if some technical, logistical, and emotional problems are encountered. The results obtained by our team should stimulate other centers to implement this kind of donation in their hospitals. We describe our experience in the policy of non-heart-beating donation and encourage transplant centers to develop such a program.
