Abstract (EN): This paper addresses the problem of maximising the expected number of transplants in kidney exchange programmes. New schemes for matching rearrangement in case of failure are presented, along with a new tree search algorithm used for the computation of optimal expected values. Extensive computational experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm and reveal a clear superiority of a newly proposed scheme, subset-recourse, as compared to previously known approaches.
