The Degree of Glomerulosclerosis in Procurement Renal Biopsy and its Implications in Predicting Graft Outcomes in Marginal Donor Kidneys
1University of Mississippi Medical Center, Jackson, MS, 2Saint Luke's Health System, Kansas City, MO
*Purpose: Percentage of glomerulosclerosis (GS) is a major determinant for kidney discard. However, GS failed to consistently predict graft outcomes across studies in the literature.…2019 American Transplant Congress
Lymphotoxin Beta Receptor in Lymphatic Endothelial Cells Regulates Treg Migration and Allograft Protection
*Purpose: Lymphotoxin beta receptor (LTβR) mediated signaling in lymphatic endothelium cells (LEC) is important for migration of regulatory T cells (Treg) to afferent lymphatic vessels…2019 American Transplant Congress
Regulatory T Cells Combined with Costimulation Blockade Prevent Rejection of Vascularized Composite Allografts
*Purpose: Reconstructive transplantation represents a valid therapeutic option after devastating tissue loss. Routine clinical application, however, is hampered by the toxicity of long-term maintenance immunosuppression.…2019 American Transplant Congress
Trimming the Fat?: Optimizing Utilization of Liver Allografts with Macrosteatosis >30% in Recipients with MELD Scores <35
*Purpose: Macrosteatosis (MaS) >30% in liver allografts has been associated with increased risk of primary non-function and poor graft survival. This study assesses the influence…2019 American Transplant Congress
The Predictive Value Of Pre-transplant Biopsies For Short-term And Long-term Graft Function In Kidney Transplantation
*Purpose: The predictive capacity of previous pre-transplant histologic scoring systems for short-term and long-term graft function in kidney transplantation has not been adequately validated.*Methods: Deceased…2019 American Transplant Congress
Distribution And Outcomes Of Donor Right Kidneys In A National Paired Kidney Exchange Program
*Purpose: Left living donor kidneys for transplant (txp) are preferred to right living donor kidneys for longer renal vein length which decreases technical difficulty of…2019 American Transplant Congress
Normal Coronary Angiogram Pre-Transplant Does Not Predict Cardiac Events in Diabetic Kidney Transplant Recipients
University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI
*Purpose: Cardiac events (CE) are a common cause of death in kidney transplant recipients. The aim of this study was to determine the risk factors…2019 American Transplant Congress
Minimally Invasive Kidney Transplantation Using a Novel Intraoperative Cryogenic Circulatory Cooling Device
*Purpose: Minimally invasive kidney transplantation (MIKT) has recently been introduced, however, an effective but inexpensive method to balance a minimal incision and reduced ischemia injury…2019 American Transplant Congress
Ninety-Day Complications in 214 Intestinal Transplant Patients: A Calvien-Dindo Analysis and Assessment of Long Term Outcomes
Georgetown Transplant Institute, MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, Washington, DC
*Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the 90-day complications that occurred after intestinal transplantation and to determine whether they effect 5-year patient…2019 American Transplant Congress
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infection Induces an Angiogenic Response through Hepatic Stellate Cells (HSCs) and Leads to Early Post-Transplant Liver Fibrosis (LF) and Poor Graft Survival
1Pathology, Baskent University, Ankara, Turkey, 2Transplantation, Baskent University, Ankara, Turkey
*Purpose: The ability of the CMV to infect the endothelial cells (ECs) is critical. CMV can increase EC adhesion, permeability, and create a pro-inflammatory environment…
