Sequential Liver-Kidney Transplantation Is Equivalent to Simultaneous Liver–Kidney Transplantation in Candidates Requiring Dialysis Pre-Transplant.
Surgery, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC
Introduction: Liver transplant is the optimal therapy for patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD). Appropriately-selected candidates with renal impairment benefit from transplantation of liver and…2017 American Transplant Congress
Anastomosis Time During Liver Transplantation Impairs Transplant Survival.
Warm ischemia sustained during implantation might harm the liver graft.We investigated the relationship between anastomosis time (AT) and transplant survival in 5223 recipients of deceased-donor…2017 American Transplant Congress
A Multicenter, Prospective and Randomized Trial Comparing Pancreas versus Islet Transplantation: Should We Do It Now?
Patients suffering from type 1 diabetes are at high risk of death. Our aim is to design a multicenter, prospective and randomized study comparing pancreas…2017 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes Following Solitary Pancreas Transplantation – Do Steroids Matter?
University of Illinois Hospital, Chicago
