Final evidence on how two transplant patients died after being given kidneys infected with a meningitis-causing parasitic worm will be heard at an inquest on Thursday.
Robert "Jim" Stuart and Darren Hughes were given organs in Cardiff in 2013 from a donor who died from meningitis.
One expert told the hearing on Wednesday that his hospital had rejected the donor organs.
But Prof Christopher Watson said no-one could have foreseen the outcome.
The Cambridge professor was part of a three-person panel asked to review the case, and he told the inquest he would not have used the organs, whose donor was known to have died from meningitis.
