We report the first successful procurement and transplantation of a multivisceral graft from a pediatric donor with polysplenic heterotaxy syndrome, including intestinal malrotation, midline liver with left-sided gallbladder and an interrupted inferior vena cava with azygous continuation. Procurement of the graft presented a surgical challenge in the presence of above anomalies. Modified approach to standard organ procurement and minor technical adaptation enabled successful transplantation. In an era of severe organ shortage of pediatric multivisceral grafts, a valuable organ offer should not lightly be declined for reasons of anatomic imperfections that might be overcome.
