Comparative Outcomes of Endovascular Interventions for Hepatic Artery Stenosis Following Adult Liver Transplantation
*Purpose: There is mounting evidence supporting interventional radiology (IR) treatment for hepatic artery stenosis (HAS) following liver transplantation to improve diminutive graft perfusion and to…2021 American Transplant Congress
Hypercholesterolemia and Donor Age Impaired Capillary Vegf and Nitric Oxide (no) Expression and in Turn Decrease Both Microvascular Density and Tubule Villin Expression in Renal Allografts, Resulting in Poor Graft Survival
*Purpose: The role of aging and hypercholesterolemia (HC) on endothelial cells (ECs) are not well defined. Aged ECs might produce less NO and VEGF, resulting…2021 American Transplant Congress
Endothelial-to-Myofibroblast Transition (en-mt) and Low Expression of Capillary Vegf Enhance the Development of Interstitial Fibrosis and Glomerulosclerosis Induced by Microvascular Destruction in Antibody-Mediated Rejection (abmr) Patients
*Purpose: Interstitial fibrosis (IF) and glomerulosclerosis (GS) are the most important cause of graft loss. Although the rate of microvascular destruction (MVD) is similar in…2021 American Transplant Congress
Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography for Pre-Liver Transplant Cardiovascular Risk Assessment: A Single Center Experience
*Purpose: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is an established non-invasive imaging modality for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD), though its use for cardiovascular disease (CVD)…2020 American Transplant Congress
CHAIR Score: A Novel Risk Stratification in Transplant Renal Artery Stenosis
Henan Province People's Hospital, Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China
*Purpose: The aim of the study is to evaluate the clinical application of CHAIR score based on creatinine (C), hypertension (H), age (A), imaging evidence…2020 American Transplant Congress
Successful Transplantation of the Kidney Graft with 5 Arteries and Intimal Dissection Injury – 9 Year Follow Up
*Purpose: Utilization of the Carrel patch allows easier implantation of the kidney graft with multiple small renal arteries. If it is not feasible, side-to-side renal…2019 American Transplant Congress
More Than Meets the Eye: The Use of Serial Intravascular Ultrasound for Assessment of Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy after Heart Transplantation
1Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA, 2University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada
*Purpose: Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is the “Achilles heel” of long-term survival after heart transplantation. While conventional coronary angiography is recognised as the standard for…2019 American Transplant Congress
Post-Liver Transplant Atrial Fibrillation is Associated with Markedly Reduced Short- and Long-Term Patient Survival
*Purpose: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is the most common perioperative cardiac arrhythmia. Data regarding POAF following liver transplant (LT) is scarce. In the immediate post-LT…2019 American Transplant Congress
Protocol Cardiac Cathaterization in Renal Transplant Candidates
*Purpose: Appropriate cardiac evaluation prior to kidney transplantation is controversial. The following retrospective analysis was performed to evaluate the value of performing cardiac catheterization on…2019 American Transplant Congress
Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography is a Poor Predictor of Clinically Significant Coronary Artery Disease in Patients Undergoing Liver Transplant Evaluation
*Purpose: Given the high incidence of major cardiac events in the first year post-liver transplantation (LT) (>30%), the aim of this study was to determine…
