The Effect of Perioperative Antiplatelet/Anticoagulant Therapy on the Incidence of Early Postoperative Thromboembolic Complications and Bleeding in Kidney Transplantation – A Dual Center Retrospective Cohort Study of 2000 Kidney Transplant Recipients
Thromboembolic complications (TECs) are dreaded complications after kidney transplantation (KTx). Consequences are severe and can result in delayed graft function or even graft loss. Perioperative…2018 American Transplant Congress
Survival Benefit of Partial Grafts in Pediatric Candidates with Acute Liver Failure Awaiting Liver Transplantation: SRTR Analysis over 26 Years
Objective: Pediatric fulminant hepatic failure (PFHF) is a devastating condition which portends a poor prognosis without liver transplantation (LT). In comparison to adult candidates, there…2018 American Transplant Congress
Declining Number of Pancreas after Kidney Transplants Despite Significant Improvement in Outcome
1SUNY Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn, NY; 2SUNY Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, NY.
Introduction: The number of whole organ pancreas transplants declined significantly over the past 15 years. The largest decrease was seen in pancreas after kidney (PAK)…2018 American Transplant Congress
Taking Your Center's Temperature: Using a Heat Map to Target Your Transplant-Specific Education for Regulatory Compliance
Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston.
Background: Large, multi-organ transplant centers struggle with implementation of a comprehensive strategy for development and execution of a Transplant-specific education plan. Regulatory requirements for staff…2018 American Transplant Congress
Allogeneic T Follicular and T Conventional Responses Assessed by Proliferation, Cytokine Production, and TCR Clonality
1Thomas E. Starzl Transplantation Institute, Pittsburgh; 2Adaptive Biotechnologies, Seattle.
Background: Human CD4+ T cell allo-immunity plays pivotal roles during cellular and humoral allograft rejection. Our previous analysis showed that allo-reactive precursors were present in…2018 American Transplant Congress
Trends in Liver Transplantation with Older Liver Donors in the United States
As the US population ages, older liver donors (OLDs) represent a potential expansion of the donor pool. Historically, grafts from OLDs have been associated with…2018 American Transplant Congress

Validating Molecular Microscope Readings and Estimating Agreement with Histology
We previously described a microarray diagnostic system (MMDx) for rejection in 1208 kidney transplant biopsies (J. Reeve et al. JCI Insight 2 (12), 2017). The…2018 American Transplant Congress
Donation after Circulatory Death Donor Liver Transplantation without Ischemic Cholangiopathy: Is It Time to Expand DCD Liver Donor Pool?
Background: To prevent ischemic cholangiopathy (IC) after liver transplantation (LT), a protocol optimizing peri-operative conditions along with thrombolytic (tissue plasminogen activator) donor flush during DCD…2018 American Transplant Congress
Ablation of Both mTOR and STAT3 in T Cells Induces Heart Transplant Acceptance in Donor Skin-Sensitized Mice
Allogeneic memory T cell response precludes the induction of transplant acceptance; how this process is regulated at the molecular level remains unclear. Both mTOR and…
