Robotic Pancreas Transplantation in Obese Recipients: Preliminary Results
1Surgery, University of Illinois, Chicago, IL; 2Surgery, University of Virginia, Virginia, VA.
IntroductionObesity is considered a relative contraindication to pancreas transplantation due to increased risks of wound and surgical related complications. Robotic surgery has never been applied…2018 American Transplant Congress
Risk Factors for Invasive Fungal Infections among Lung Transplant Recipients
University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA.
Objective: Lung transplant (LT) recipients are at high risk of invasive fungal infections (IFI) with an estimated 1-year incidence of 8%. Despite advances in antifungal…2018 American Transplant Congress
Effect of Acute Vascular Inflammation (v) on Death Censored Graft Failure (DCGF) Following Kidney Transplant (KTx)
The impact of acute vascular inflammation in acute cellular or humoral rejection following KTx, and the effect of isolated vascular inflammatory lesions on late DCGF,…2018 American Transplant Congress
Impact of the New KAS on Transplant Rates in Highly-HLA Sensitized (HS) Patients after Desenstization (DES): 3yrs Post Implementation
Kidney Transplant, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, LA, CA.
Introduction: The KAS aims to increase equity in organ allocation for broadly sensitized (HS) patients, especially (CPRA 99-100%). Coupling desensitization (DES) + KAS likely will…2018 American Transplant Congress
Vesicoureteral Reflux after Kidney Transplantation Influences Long-Term Graft Survival
[Introduction] Post-transplant vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a complication of kidney transplantation (KT) causing graft interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy. However, risk factors for VUR or…2018 American Transplant Congress
Geographic Disparity in Access to Deceased-Donor Liver Transplantation for Pediatric Candidates
1JHU, Baltimore; 2US Naval Academy, Annapolis.
Geographic disparity in access to deceased-donor liver transplantation (DDLT) is largely uncharacterized for pediatric candidates. We investigated geographic disparity in DDLT rates across Donation Service…2018 American Transplant Congress
Pancreas Graft Function >10 Years: The Cumulative US Experience
1SUNY Downstate Medical Center, Broooklyn, NY; 2SUNY Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, NY.
Background and Study Purpose: The cumulative US experience with long-term pancreas graft function has not been reported.Methods: Between 1966 and 2005, 18,197 pancreas transplants due…2018 American Transplant Congress
Alloreactive B Cells Acquire Cell-Intrinsic Hyporesponsiveness in Tolerant Recipients
Donor-specific transplantation tolerance has long been an aspiration of clinical transplantation. Recently, we have reported that multiple mechanisms are required to reinforce profound hyporesponsiveness of…2018 American Transplant Congress
Molecular Assessment of Pre-Implantation Donor Biopsies: Effects of Prolonged Cold Ischemia Time and Development of Delayed Graft Function
Background: Deceased-donor (DD) kidneys are at higher risk for ischemia/reperfusion injury leading to increased inflammatory mediators and innate immune response. We aimed to investigate the…2018 American Transplant Congress
Impact of the Kidney Allocation System on Young Pediatric Recipients
1University of Chicago, Chicago, IL; 2Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA.
Purpose: The Kidney Allocation System (KAS) altered the priority of pediatric candidates for deceased donor kidney transplantation. Before long-term graft outcomes can be assessed, Delayed…
