Pharmacological Enhancement of Bile Duct Preservation and Function during Ex-Situ Normothermic Machine Perfusion
Institute of Immunology and Immunotherapy, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom
*Purpose: Whilst ex-situ normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) of the liver limits the ischaemic injury to the organ, benefits for biliary complications post-transplantation are not yet…2019 American Transplant Congress
Normothermic Ex-Situ Liver Perfusion Parameters of Liver Viability in a Porcine Model of Liver Transplantation with Marginal Grafts
1Toronto General Hospital, Toronto, ON, Canada, 2University of Nicolaus Copernicus, Torun, Poland
*Purpose: Evaluate parameters of liver viability during normothermic ex-situ liver perfusion (NEsLP) prior to transplantation.*Methods: In this study, we investigated prior assessed parameters and new…2019 American Transplant Congress
Bile Duct Anastomosis over Intraluminal Plastic Biliary Stent in Liver Transplant: Clinical Outcome
*Purpose: Biliary complications have been known as “Achilles Heel” of orthotropic liver transplantation (OLT) with high morbidity and mortality. Intra-luminal plastic biliary stents replacing T-tubes…2019 American Transplant Congress
Insertion of Internal Stent in Duct-to-Duct Biliary Reconstruction to Reduce Bile Duct Complication in Living Donor Liver Transplantation
*Purpose: Because of the innovations in surgical and postoperative surgical treatment of donors and recipients during the past decade, living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is…2018 American Transplant Congress
Staged Biliary Reconstruction after Liver Transplantation Reduces Post-Transplant Biliary Complications in High-Acuity Patients
Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI.
Biliary complications (BC) after liver transplantation (LT) are strongly associated with inferior patient outcomes and increased healthcare cost. High-acuity LT patients are at increased risk…2018 American Transplant Congress
Early Biliary Complications after Orthotopic Liver Transplantation – Non-Randomised Comparison of 3 Methods of Biliary Tract Drainage
BackgroundBiliary tract complications (BTC) are still relatively common and complex problem following orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). The aim of this nonrandomized study was to evaluate…2018 American Transplant Congress
Does Biliary Duct Reconstruction Technique Impact Liver Transplantation Outcomes?
Introduction: The rate of biliary complication after liver transplantation remains high. The choice of biliary reconstruction technique may depend on the patient's primary disease, possible…2018 American Transplant Congress
DCD Utilization in Cholestatic Liver Disease: Distinct Outcomes between PSC and PBC Recipients
Abdominal Transplant Surgery, Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, OR.
