The different transplant centers have varying requirements and contraindications for transplant. Some 'cap' at age 65, others 'cap' at age 70....it all depends on the center's policy. And of course (especially in older patients) the potential recipient's general overall health is taken into consideration. It is a major surgery - and the person needs to be healthy enough to survive it!
