The care of patients with end-stage organ failure waiting for an allograft is expensive, particularly if chronic dialysis or mechanical support is required. Xenotransplantation has the potential to eliminate wait times for organ transplants, significantly reduce certain management costs, for example, chronic dialysis, and enable early transplantation before comorbidities develop or increase. The cost of the surgical procurement of a pig organ and its transplantation will be similar to that of allotransplantation, as will the cost of immunosuppressive therapy. The major \"unknown\" is the cost of purchasing a gene-edited pig organ, which is likely to be considerable. We conclude that there will be significant cost savings for the pretransplant care of an individual patient, but these may be offset by the cost of the gene-edited pig organ.
