Distance and Community Characteristics are Associated with Waitlist Mortality Prior to Lung Transplantation
Vanderbilt Medical Center, Nashville, TN
*Purpose: While specific clinical characteristics known to impact lung transplant waitlist mortality and proximity to the transplant center have been associated with outcomes in other…2020 American Transplant Congress
In a Murine Model of Acetaminophen-Mediated Liver Injury, Tubastatin-a, An Hdac6-Specific Inhibitor, Improves Survival and Decreases Hepatocellular Injury
*Purpose: Tylenol (APAP) toxicity, due to its narrow therapeutic window, is the leading cause of acute liver failure in the United States, resulting in approximately…2020 American Transplant Congress
Liver Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells Express High Levels of DAP12, TREM2 and PD-L1 and Promote Effector T Cell Exhaustion and Augmented Treg Responses in Spontaneous Liver Transplant Tolerance
University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA
*Purpose: The precise mechanisms of liver transplant tolerance are yet to be elucidated. Non-conventional plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are thought to promote immune regulation, including…2020 American Transplant Congress
A Machine-Learning Approach for Estimating Likelihood of Transplant Benefit from Older-Donor Kidneys
*Purpose: There is a shortage of transplantable kidneys in the US. Yet, the discard rate among older donors (55+) is approx. 38% per year. The…2020 American Transplant Congress
Belatacept Provides Superior Inhibition of Donor Specific Antibody Formation in Kidney Transplant Recipients with Acute Rejection
Emory Transplant Center, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA
*Purpose: The factors responsible for chronic renal allograft dysfunction and premature graft loss are incompletely understood and likely multifactorial. Immunologic injury partially attributable to the…2020 American Transplant Congress
Biliary Reconstructionwith High Biliary Radicals is Safe Option for Multiple Graft Bile Ducts in Right Lobe Living Donor Liver Transplantation
Department of Surgery, Catholic University of Daegu College of Medicine, Daegu, Korea, Republic of
*Purpose: Multiple small size donor bile ducts (BDs) are related to higher incidence of biliary complications (BCs) and biliary reconstruction for multiple BDs still remains…2020 American Transplant Congress
Comparative Analysis of Risks Factors for Kidney Allograft Loss Due to Bk Nephropathy and Graft Loss Due to Other Causes: UNOS Data Set
*Purpose: 1-10% of the kidney transplant recipients develop BK virus nephropathy (BKVN). The risk factors associated with BKVN are not clearly understood. Here, we evaluate…2020 American Transplant Congress
CCL18 Plays a Crucial Role in T Cell Recruitment in Upper Extremity Transplant Rejection
*Purpose: Upper extremity transplantation (UET) is a life-changing procedure for amputee patients. However, 90% of patients experience acute skin rejection in the first post-transplant year,…2020 American Transplant Congress
Pilot Study: Effect of Dual Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion on Human Lung Preservation
*Purpose: We have developed a novel lung preservation technique, dual ex vivo lung perfusion (dual EVLP) where both pulmonary artery (PA) and bronchial artery (BA)…2020 American Transplant Congress
Prolonged In Vivo Perfusion of a Re-Endothelialized Human-Scale Tissue Engineered Kidney Graft
*Purpose: Advances are desperately needed to increase the supply of transplantable kidneys for the 100,000 patients on the waiting list. Whole organ engineering is one…
