Transplants (Continued from page 1) Christiansen made arrangements to fly to New York, Phillips and UNC transplant technician I^ph Pickett arranged to fly there also with the kidneys aboard a plane chartered from the UNC School of Medicine. Keeping Them Alive The kidneys were transported in a kidney profusion machine, which Duke transplant surgeon Dr. Del Stickel calls "a miniature heart-lung machine" because it keeps the organ alive and functioning by pumping oxygen and human plasma through it. The men from Duke met Christiansen at Kennedy International Airport where the Dane took over the Ehike machine and left for Copenhagen by commercial airliner at 6:15 p.m. Monday. On Tuesday morning, Herlev Hospital in Copenhagen reported to Duke that the kidneys, which had arrived in excellent condition, had been transplanted into two women, ages 31 and 43, and that they had begun functioning immediately. Worldwide Network It was the first time, the hospital said, that kidneys that had been placed through Eurotransplant had been flown from the United States on a profusion machine. Kidneys have been transported packed in ice. In a television interview later in the day, the procurement team director, Duke urologic surgeon Dr. John Weinerth, said the experience and the apparently successful transplantation "opens up the organ-sharing network worldwide."
