  • 演講摘要 : We investigate the implications of introducing immunosuppressants to the kidney transplant problem. Immunosuppressants relax immunological constraints, allowing patients to receive transplants from any donor. For each compatibility prole, we select a set of patients receiving immunosuppressants and a matching between patients and donors. To increase compatible transplants, we propose to use immunosuppressants as a part of kidney exchange program. We make modifications of the top-trading cycles rule for a better use of immunosuppressants. These solutions satisfy Pareto efficiency, monotonicity, and maximal improvement.
