Predicting Metabolic Outcomes in Islet Autotransplantation before Transplantation
Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA
*Purpose: Total Pancreatectomy with Islet Auto-transplantation (TPIAT) has been actively performed on patients with severe, debilitating pain of chronic pancreatitis. The outcome of islet transplantation…2019 American Transplant Congress
Minimizing Kidney Ischemia Reperfusion Injury by Transferring Exogenous Mitochondria
*Purpose: Ischemia induces altered bioenergetics with increased mitochondrial swelling and reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ultimately degradation of cellular function. Ischemia followed by reperfusion (IRI)…2019 American Transplant Congress
Organ Resilience Contributes to Different Impact of Delayed Graft Function (DGF) on Graft Survival in Kidneys Donated by Brain Death (DBD) and Circulatory Death Donors (DCD)
Transplantation Center, LUMC, Leiden, Netherlands
*Purpose: Despite a tripled higher incidence of DGF in DCD kidney grafts compared to DBD kidney grafts, large studies show equivalent long-term graft survival with…2019 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes of En Bloc Simultaneous Liver-Kidney Transplantation Compared to the Traditional Technique
University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH
*Purpose: Simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation (SLKT) is indicated for patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD) and concurrent renal insufficiency. En bloc SLKT has been reported as…2019 American Transplant Congress
Can National Data Predict Which Older Kidney Donors Are More Likely to Yield Higher eGFR 1-Year Post-Transplant?

*Purpose: Older donors (65+) have been utilized at low rates despite accounting for the majority of deaths in the U.S. (73%, CDC). Kasiske et al.…2019 American Transplant Congress
Outcome of Renal Transplantation in Systemic Amyloidosis
*Purpose: Systemic amyloidosis accounts for approximately 0.8% of end stage renal disease (ESRD) in the UK. Outcomes following renal transplantation in systemic amyloidosis were historically…2019 American Transplant Congress
Daily Use of a Muscle Pump Activator Device Reduces Hospitalization and Improves Graft Function Post Transplantation: A Randomized Controlled Trial
London Health Sciences Center, London, Ontario, Canada, London, ON, Canada
*Purpose: Kidney and simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplant recipients can have prolonged post-operative hospitalization due to edema, delayed mobilization, and delayed graft function. Traditionally, TED stockings…2019 American Transplant Congress
Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasonography Predicts Insulin Secretion Ability at 1 Year after Pancreas Transplantation
*Purpose: We have previously reported that contrast enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) is useful to evaluate the graft circulation and to predict the endocrine function of the…2019 American Transplant Congress
Improved Transplant Outcomes in Ischemia-Free Liver Transplantation: A Report of the First 30 Cases
Organ Transplant Center, the First Affiliated Hospital of SYSU, Guangzhou, China
*Purpose: We developed a novel procedure called ischemia-free liver transplantation (IFLT) to bridge liver grafts from donors to recipients without cessation of blood supply. Herein,…2019 American Transplant Congress
Uterus Transplantation: Recipient Surgery
Simmons Transplant Institute, Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas, TX
*Purpose: The field of uterus transplantation, since the first birth to a uterus transplanted woman in 2014, continues to grow rapidly. As of today at…
