General Comment:Do the proposed document changes need to address the type of organ recipient 
(living-related vs.cadaveric) that could potentially receive the vessels? The way the 
changes read now indicates the vessels are to be used in organ transplant only. I 
believe consideration should be given to specific verbage to include recipients from 
living-related, living-non-related, and cadaveric donors. For example, if a kidney 
recipient, whose donor was living and related, requires additional surgery to repair 
a throbosed renal artery, can a surgeon use vessels from a cadaveric donor for the 
repair? More specific definitions of the type of transplant recipient may avoid 
confusion and conflict between operating room administrators and transplant 
surgeons as they adjust their policies to comply with this new regulation.
