Unusual transplants a 'godsend' for patients
Joe Vasquez and Larry Lunzer had failing kidneys and a long, rough wait for transplants. The kidneys of Vasquez's wife, Debbie, matched with Lunzer. The kidneys of Lunzer's brother in Illinois, Dan, matched with Joe Vasquez. Matches are generally made through blood type and other factors. Nebraska Medical Center professionals, through a strategy called a donor swap, proposed a kidney exchange involving the four people. Both sides were willing. And on June 17, surgeons removed a kidney from Debbie Vasquez and placed it in Larry Lunzer. Surgeons removed a kidney from Dan Lunzer and placed it in Joe Vasquez.
