HbA1c as a Noninvasive Predictor of Chronic Histopathologic Changes in Living Donors for Kidney Transplantation
*Purpose: The degree of chronic histopathologic changes in renal allografts, including interstitial fibrosis, tubular atrophy, and arteriolar hyalinosis, can have clinical implications in long-term allograft…2019 American Transplant Congress
Quantitative Measuring of Iliac Artery Calcification in Renal Transplantation
*Purpose: Arterial calcification is common in patients with end stage renal disease and is often accompanied by wall hypertrophy. The aims of this study are…2019 American Transplant Congress
Circulating De Novo Donor Specific Antibodies and Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: Emerging evidence suggests that circulating de novo donor specific anti-HLA antibodies (dnDSA) may be associated with increased risk of accelerated systemic arteriosclerosis and major…2019 American Transplant Congress
mTOR Inhibitors Associated with Higher Cardiovascular Adverse Events – A Large Population Database Analysis
*Purpose: Our study aimed to compare the adverse events (AEs) of tacrolimus to mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors in solid organ transplant patients.*Methods: Our…2019 American Transplant Congress
Identification and Determinants of Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy Trajectories after Heart Transplantation
*Purpose: CAV is a major contributor of heart transplant recipient’s mortality. However, little is known about CAV long-term evolution profiles and their determinants. Such information…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
AKI and Long-Term Risk for Cardiovascular Events in Patients after Kidney Transplantation
*Purpose: AKI was found to be associated with increased risk of major cardiovascular events (MACE) in the general population. Patients after kidney transplantation are prone…2019 American Transplant Congress
Factors Associated with Cardiovascular Subclinical Target Organ Damage in Liver Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: Liver transplantation (LT) patients are prone to cardiovascular (CV) morbidity, since LT-related factors can add to the burden of classical risk factors. The aim…2019 American Transplant Congress
Factors Associated with Subclinical Cardiovascular Damage after Pediatric Liver Transplantation: A Longitudinal Observational Study
*Purpose: Cardiovascular (CV) events account for 8-13% of deaths after liver transplantation (LT) in adulthood. While CV risk factors are present in children after LT…2018 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Allograft Vascular Disease Post-Transplant (KTX): Risk Factors and Implications
1Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN; 2Pathology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN.
Background: Over time grafts develop arteriosclerosis (ART)and arteriolar hyalinosis (AH). Previous studies associated AH with calcineurin inhibitors (CNI), diabetes (DM), kidney age and hypertension. Other…
