The Impact of Duration of Brain Death on Outcomes in Abdominal Organ Transplantation: Rush and Retrieve or Rather Relax and Repair?
Background: Brain death (BD) induces a progressive systemic pro-inflammatory and coagulatory response affecting function of the grafts-to-be and survival. With longer BD duration more injury…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of a Desensitization Protocol Using Plasmapheresis and Intravenous Immunoglobulin On Graft Outcome in Kidney Recipients With Donor Specific Anti-HLA Antibodies
Hospital Geral de Fortaleza, Fortaleza, Brazil.
Introduction: Kidney transplantation in patients with donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies (DSA) has been associated with a worse prognosis. The high cost, infectious complications and conflicting results…2015 American Transplant Congress
Pre-Transplant Donor Specific Antibody With Negative Flow-Crossmatch Was Related to Higher Acute Rejection But Not to Poor Graft Survival
Background: DSA have been associated to lower graft survival and a higher humoral rejection rate, but there is a concern about the clinical impact of…2015 American Transplant Congress
Prediction of Delayed Graft Function By Means of a Web-Based Calculator in Living Related Kidney Transplant: Mexican Single Center Experience
Background: Delayed graft function (DGF) is associated with, poor graft survival. Irish validated a model to predict DGF for deceased donor transplants. The model was…2015 American Transplant Congress
Transplant Center Quality Assessment: Correlation Between Early Graft Outcomes and Patient-Centered Assessments of Hospital Care
1Surgery, Mayo Clinic Arizona, Phoenix, AZ; 2Surgery, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI.
Background: Patients selecting a transplant center use public reports of outcomes to empower their decision-making. Patient-focused quality measures are lacking in transplantation, but are a…2015 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Transplant Outcomes in Recipients Older Than 70: A Single Center Experience
Indiana University Health, Indianapolis, IN.
Age is no longer considered a contraindication to renal transplantation. To date, little is known in regards to the grafts and patients outcomes in elderly…2015 American Transplant Congress
ABO-Incompatible Liver Transplantation for Severe Hepatitis B Patients
Objectives: Effect of ABO-incompatible liver transplantation on severe hepatitis B (SHB) patients is still unclear. Herein, we described 22 successful cases of patients with SHB…2015 American Transplant Congress
Liver-Specific Transcription Factor ATF5 Participates in Regulation of IFN-γ/B7-H1 Signaling Pathway in Liver Mesenchymal Cells
Liver transplant tolerance was initially discovered in pigs, rats and mice. A recent paper reviewed ∼400 liver transplant patients worldwide who had undergone weaning of…2015 American Transplant Congress
Outpatient Management of Delayed Graft Function (DGF) Is Associated With Reduced Length of Stay and Acute Rejection
Delayed graft function (DGF) increases hospital length of stay (LOS) and risk for readmission, rejection, early graft loss and death. We created a multidisciplinary DGF…2015 American Transplant Congress
Improved Long-Term Graft Survival in Renal Transplant Recipients With Donor Specific Antibodies (DSA) After Mycophenolic Acid Escalation
Background: DSA formation in post-renal transplant patients is associated with chronic rejection and graft failure. Previous studies in our population indicate DSA formation is a…
