Transplant Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA
Background: Hypothermic non-oxygenated machine perfusion (HMP) is commonly used in kidney preservation, providing some advantage over static cold storage, as well as flow and resistance…2017 American Transplant Congress
Longer Anastomotic Time Leads to Delayed Graft Function.
Background: Delayed graft function (DGF) occurs at variable rates in renal transplant recipients. It can be deleterious to renal allograft in long term. Various factors…2017 American Transplant Congress
Model to Predict Prolonged Delayed Graft Function (DGF) Following Kidney Transplantation from Deceased Donor with Acute Kidney Injury (AKI Tx).
1Mayo Clinic, Phoenix, AZ; 2Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN
Background Our aim is to develop a model to predict prolonged DGF following AKI Tx.Methods AKI Tx (donor terminal Cr>/=2) from 2003 to 2016 were…2017 American Transplant Congress
Does Choice of Induction Agent Affect Outcomes in Kidney Transplants from Deceased Donors with Acute Kidney Injury and Prolonged Cold Ischemia Time?
Nephrology, Columbia University Medical Center, New York, NY
Kidneys with acute kidney injury (AKI) have a higher rate of DGF but similar outcomes to kidneys without AKI, although most data are with kidneys…2016 American Transplant Congress
Multiorgan Procurement a Learning Tool in General Surgical Resident Education.
