We sought to determine if genetically modified porcine kidneys used for xenotransplantation had sufficient tissue integrity to support long-term function in a human recipient. ⋯ The findings of this study suggest kidneys from 10-gene edited porcine donors have sufficient tissue integrity to tolerate xenotransplantation into a living human recipient. There was no evidence of anastomotic complications, and the xenografts tolerated needle biopsy without issue. Xenograft growth occurred but plateaued by the study end; further observation and investigation will be required to confirm this finding and elucidate underlying mechanisms.
