These figures consolidate the Spanish healthcare model and its firm commitment to organ donation and transplantation.<br class=\"yoast-text-mark\" \/>&gt;According to data presented by the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ont.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Transplant Organisation<\/a> (ONT)<\/strong>, <strong>6,335 organ transplants were performed in 2025<\/strong>, keeping Spain at the top internationally for the second consecutive year in a medical activity of high complexity and enormous social impact.<\/p>\n<h3>Technological innovation and advanced organ preservation<\/h3>\n<p>One of the key factors behind this leadership is the adoption and widespread use of <strong>organ preservation procedures using extracorporeal circulation devices (ECMO)<\/strong>. This advanced technology makes it possible to maintain the viability of organs suitable for transplantation. Even in highly complex clinical situations, leading to <strong>improved clinical outcomes<\/strong> and expanding therapeutic options for patients.<\/p>\n<h3>Cardiac transplantation after circulatory death: a clinical milestone<\/h3>\n<p>Due to its particular technical complexity, only nine countries worldwide successfully carry out this type of procedure. In Spain, <strong>cardiac transplantation after circulatory death<\/strong>, performed following the donor\u2019s cardiorespiratory arrest, now accounts for <strong>35% of all heart transplants<\/strong>. This figure reflects the high level of clinical and technological development of the Spanish transplant system.<\/p>\n<h3>A strong and coordinated healthcare system<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to heart transplantation, <strong>kidney, liver, lung<\/strong> and other specialised transplants have contributed to maintaining exceptional donation and transplantation figures. All of this is the result of a <strong>robust, well-coordinated healthcare system with a long-standing record of excellence<\/strong> in this field.<\/p>\n<h3>Organisational model, solidarity and innovation<\/h3>\n<p>The combination of an <strong>efficient organisational model<\/strong>, a strong <strong>culture of solidarity<\/strong> and technological advances such as <strong>ECMO systems<\/strong> has enabled Spain not only to maintain. Also to continue strengthening its global leadership in organ transplantation, setting the benchmark for advanced medicine and healthcare innovation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spain strengthens its global leadership in organ transplantation in 2025 thanks to medical innovation, ECMO technology and a benchmark healthcare model.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4632,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[218],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4638","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/biogendiagnostica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4638","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/biogendiagnostica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/biogendiagnostica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biogendiagnostica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biogendiagnostica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4638"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/biogendiagnostica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4638\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biogendiagnostica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4632"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/biogendiagnostica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4638"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biogendiagnostica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4638"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biogendiagnostica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4638"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
