The ability to comply with the medical regimen necessary to suppress rejection is one of the most important factors as is long term survival potential after surgery. However, he appeared to be pre-morbid and in hospice so it makes me wonder if he was felt by the transplant team to be a poor candidate based on his poor post-op survival potential. I have not seen someone go for transplant out of hospice.
