Ligation of the Proximal Splenic Vein to Keep Adequate Portal Flow in Patients with Large Splenorenal Shunts during Living Donor Liver Transplantation
*Purpose: Adequate graft portal venous flow is essential for the rapid regeneration of partial grafts during living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Large splenorenal shunts (SRS)…2019 American Transplant Congress
The Effects Of Simultaneously Training Additional Surgeons In The Living Donor Robotic Assisted Kidney Transplant
Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, MI
*Purpose: Minimally invasive surgery is an ever-developing field in surgery. Numerous international transplant programs have reported the success and safety of robotic assisted kidney transplant…2019 American Transplant Congress
Predicting Graft Function And Long-term Outcomes Following Kidney Transplantation Using An Intraoperative Tissue Oximetry Sensor
University of California Irvine, Orange, CA
*Purpose: Marginal kidneys have been increasingly used due to the severe shortage of organs. Deceased-donor kidney transplantation is associated with a higher incidence of delayed…2018 American Transplant Congress
Urinary Tract Infections after Renal Transplantation: Is Male Gender a Risk Factor for Resistant Microorganisms?
Nephrology, Marmara University, School of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkey.
Introduction: Renal transplantation is the most effective treatment method for patients with the end-stage renal disease. The most common infections among these patients are urinary…2018 American Transplant Congress
Predictive Scores for Delayed Graft Function Based on Hypothermic Machine Perfusion Variables in Kidney Transplantation
Background Hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) is increasingly being used in cardiac death kidney transplantation, but the value of assessing organ quality and predicting DGF through…2018 American Transplant Congress
BETA-2 Score is an Excellent Tool for Monitoring of Islet Allograft Function and Early Detection of Transplant Dysfunction
1Surgery, University of Chicago, Chicago; 2Nephrology, Medical University of Gdańsk, Gdańsk, Poland.
After validation of BETA-2 scores in our cohort of patients in relation to standard stimulation tests, we decided to assess the practical utility of BETA-2…2018 American Transplant Congress
Sirolimus-Based, Prednisone-Free Regimen in Kidney Transplantation: Long Term Results of an Open-Label, Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Calcineurin (CNI) nephrotoxicity is implicated in chronic allograft dysfunction and presents an argument for CNI minimizing immunosuppression. We assessed the long-term effects of CNI…2018 American Transplant Congress
Pumping Donor Kidneys Reduces DGF and Improves Allograft Survival without Affecting Rejection Rates
Surgery, Duke University, Durham, NC.
Recent evidence suggests that hypothermic machine perfusion of donor kidneys reduces delayed graft function (DGF), but data is sparse on its effect on allograft rejection.…2018 American Transplant Congress
ACEI/ARB Use within One Year of Kidney Transplant is Associated with Less AKI and Graft Loss in Older Recipients
Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC.
As short-term outcomes have improved, optimizing long-term graft survival remains a major focus of transplant programs. Older kidney transplant recipients are particularly vulnerable to acute…2018 American Transplant Congress
Early Results from USHER: A Pilot Trial of Transplanting HCV-Infected Hearts into HCV-Negative Recipients Followed by Anti-Viral Therapy
Background: In 2016, over 600 hearts from deceased donors with active or prior hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection were discarded; most were otherwise good quality,…
