Center Volume Is Associated With Early Graft Failure After Living Donor Kidney Transplantation
Surgery/Transplantation, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL.
Introduction: The correlation between center volume and outcomes has been established within general surgery and is most pronounced within the context of high-risk, low-volume procedures.…2015 American Transplant Congress
Donor Microbiota and Its Contribution for the Development of Primary Graft Dysfunction Following Human Lung Transplantation
Background: The microbiome of the donor lung will be imported to the recipient, and its role in allograft immunity remains speculative. The aims of this…2015 American Transplant Congress
Operating Room Extubation After Bilateral Lung Transplantation in Cystic Fibrosis Patients: A Single Center Experience
Short-acting anesthetic drugs, thoracic epidural analgesia and a strict ventilation weaning protocol could permit extubation in the operating room (OR) (1). Aims of this study…2015 American Transplant Congress
Re-Evaluate the Transplant Renal Artery Stenosis After Renal Transplantation Based On New Unenhanced Magnetic Resonance Angiography By Using Spatial Labeling With Multiple Inversion Pulses
Transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) after renal transplantation was underestimated because of the low sensitivity of ultrasound and the contrast induced renal damage on the…2015 American Transplant Congress
Longitudinal Multi-Omic Profiling of Genes and Pathways Underlying Cardiac Allograft Rejection
Our ability to treat cardiac allograft rejection in both acute and chronic states is typically limited by poor existing biomarkers to predict the occurrence of…2015 American Transplant Congress
Perturbation of Polyomavirus Nephropathy-Specific Gene Expression in Kidney Allografts
Polyomavirus nephropathy (PVAN) is a common cause of kidney allograft dysfunction and loss. Microscopic observations of PVAN are similar to T-cell mediated rejection (TCMR), with…2015 American Transplant Congress
Defining and Directing T Cell Subsets Involved in Rejection of Vascularized Composite Allografts
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD.
Purpose: Wider utilization of VCA is hampered by the need for long-term immunosuppression. Barriers to more targeted immunosuppression in VCA include (1) limited knowledge of…2015 American Transplant Congress
Is Ex Vivo Liver Perfusion a Safe Alternative to Cold Static Storage for the Preservation of Standard Criteria Grafts?
Multi Organ Transplant Program, Toronto General Hospital, Toronto, ON, Canada.
Objective: Subnormothermic ex vivo liver perfusion (SNEVLP) has recently attracted great interest in the field of organ preservation for marginal grafts. However, data is lacking…2015 American Transplant Congress
The 20S Proteasome Is Active in Apoptotic Nanovesicles and Controls Anti-LG3 Antibody Production
Humoral autoreactivity to apoptotic cells and perlecan/LG3, a proteoglycan fragment released by apoptotic cells, predicts poor allograft outcomes in renal transplant patients. How apoptotic cells…2015 American Transplant Congress
Pancreas Transplant Sera Improves the Function and Proliferation of Endothelial Cells
Transplant Services, Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh, PA.
Pancreas transplantation (Tx) allows for the study of diabetes by examining the reversal of the disease. Previously, we observed that after pancreas Tx many patients'…
