Kidney and Liver DCD Outcomes – A Five Year Review
Background: The demand for organ transplantation exceeds the supply and has led to an increase in use of donation after cardiac death (DCD) solid organs…2018 American Transplant Congress
Livers from Diabetic Donors Can Safely Be Used in Donation after Circulatory Death Liver Transplantation
Liver grafts from donors with a history of diabetes mellitus (DM) have been associated with reduced graft survival after liver transplantation. Transplantation centers are often…2018 American Transplant Congress
A Medical Decision Analysis for the Use of Donation after Cardiac Death Donors for Simultaneous Liver-Kidney Transplant
Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS, Canada.
For patients on the simultaneous liver-kidney transplant (SLKT) waitlist, acceptance of donation after cardiac death (DCD) organs may facilitate earlier transplantation thereby reducing waitlist mortality,…2018 American Transplant Congress

Introduction: The influence of an observer on the phenomena being observed is designated as the observer effect. It is our aim to demonstrate that an…2018 American Transplant Congress
Global Expression Profiles of miRNA and Expression Patterns and Localization of the miR-21 in One-Hour Biopsy Specimens of Human Kidney Tansplantation from Donors after Cardiac Death
Because of the global shortage of renal grafts, kidney transplantation (KTx) from donors after cardiac death (DCDs) is an alternative way of obtaining KTx from…2018 American Transplant Congress
Donor Hepatectomy Time in Donation after Circulatory Death Donors is an Independent Risk Factor for the Development of Biliary Strictures and Early Graft Loss after Transplantation
Introduction: Liver transplantation (LT) from donors after circulatory death (DCD) is associated with an increased risk of non-anastomotic biliary strictures (NAS) and early graft loss…2018 American Transplant Congress
DonorNet and Biases in Decision-Making: An Organ Offer Simulation Study
Background: Behavioral science research has revealed that the way information is presented can impact decision-making. UNOS has developed a DonorNet-like simulation tool to send hypothetical…2018 American Transplant Congress
Shared Genetic Ancestry as a Predictor of Medium Term Renal Transplant Outcome in Deceased Donor Transplants
Sibling transplant pairs have better transplant outcomes than unrelated donor recipient (DR) pairs indicating that shared genetic ancestry between donors and recipients can aid in…2018 American Transplant Congress
Factors Predicting Viability Achievement on Discarded Donor Livers Submitted to Extra-Corporeal Machine Perfusion
Background: Ex-vivo machine perfusion of livers (MP) may offer superior preservation for marginal donor organs. During normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) is possible to assess liver…2018 American Transplant Congress
