*Purpose: Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) colonization is common in liver transplant candidates. In addition to the risk of invasive enterococcal infections, dominance of VRE colonization in…2019 American Transplant Congress
Activation of Oxidative Stress-Adoptive Responses during Extended Ex Situ Heart Perfusion
Department of Surgery, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada
*Purpose: Cardiac function declines in a time-related fashion during ex situ heart perfusion (ESHP) regardless of ventricular load status. We have previously shown that the…2019 American Transplant Congress
Metabolic Profiling of Steatotic Human Livers during Ex-Vivo Normothermic Machine Perfusion
*Purpose: Nearly 40-60% of discarded livers are due to steatosis because of poor recovery from ischemia-reperfusion injury and compromised post-transplant function. We evaluated steatotic (ST)…2019 American Transplant Congress
Impact of a Novel Digital Medicine Program on Adherence and Utilization in Pediatric Transplant Patients
*Purpose: Purpose: Optimal allograft function and long-term graft survival depends on many factors, including adherence to a complex medication regimen. Methods of measuring adherence are…2019 American Transplant Congress
Patient Reported Side Effects Associated with Reduced Quality of Life after Living Donor Kidney Transplant
Northwestern University, Chicago, IL
*Purpose: As living donor kidney transplant (LDKT) graft and patient survival approaches 100%, the focus of care turns to patient reported outcome measures such as…2019 American Transplant Congress
Higher Post-Transplant CXCL13 Correlates with the Occurrence of Infection within 1 Year after Kidney Transplantation
*Purpose: Chemokine is a subtype of cytokines that involved in the process of inflammation and immune responses, and play an important role in both kidney…2019 American Transplant Congress

Association Between Cumulative Pre-transplant Amiodarone Dose And Post-transplant Outcomes After Heart Transplantation
*Purpose: Previous studies have demonstrated a correlation between pre-transplant amiodarone use and post-operative bradycardia, primary graft dysfunction, and mortality in heart transplant (HT) recipients; this…2019 American Transplant Congress
Infectious Risk of Rejection Therapy Following Heart Transplantation; Can It Be Avoided?
Cedars-Sinai Smidt Heart Institute, Los Angeles, CA
*Purpose: The diagnosis of rejection after heart transplantation (HTx) is usually based on the surveillance endomyocardial biopsies (EMB). These protocol biopsies are performed at scheduled…2019 American Transplant Congress
Individualized Preconditioning for ABO-Incompatible Living Donor Kidney Transplantation: An Initial Report of 48 Cases from China
