Donor Macrophage Depletion from CMV-Latently Infected Hearts Abrogates CMV-Accelerated Chronic Rejection.
1Department of Surgery, OHSU, Portland, OR; 2VGTI, OHSU, Hillsboro, OR
Purpose: Latent donor CMV infection has been shown to accelerate chronic rejection (CR) in a heterotopic rat heart transplant model. CMV latency is associated with…2017 American Transplant Congress
To Accept or Not Accept, That Is the Question: Donor Heart Selection Process and Outcome of Discarded Organs Transplanted in Another Center.
Purpose: The decision making process to accept a donor heart is very complicated, subjective and less associated with evidence based decisions. In this analysis we…2017 American Transplant Congress
Statins in Liver Transplant Recipients: Rates of Use, Mortality and Rejection.
Introduction:Liver transplant recipients are prone to developing metabolic syndrome following transplant, likely secondary to immunosuppressant use. Among those with metabolic syndrome, the rate of cardiovascular…2017 American Transplant Congress
Minimal Effect of Broader Heart Sharing on Regional Outcomes.
The OPTN/UNOS Heart Subcommittee proposed a revision to policy 6 (Allocation of Hearts and Heart-Lungs) to better address heart transplant candidate medical urgency. They developed…2017 American Transplant Congress
Malignancy in Patients Undergoing Simultaneous Heart-Liver and Heart-Kidney Transplant.
University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA
Purpose: While evidence suggests that patients undergoing simultaneous heart-liver and heart-kidney transplant may have improved immunoprotection from allograft rejection versus patients undergoing heart transplant only,…2016 American Transplant Congress
Thoracic Simulated Allocation Modeling (TSAM) of Broader Sharing.
Heart allocation policy (OPTN policy 6) is in development. The Heart Subcommittee of the OPTN Thoracic Committee developed a 6-tiered medical urgency algorithm, then investigated…2016 American Transplant Congress
Cardiovascular Prognosis and Adverse Cardiac Events After Orthotopic Liver Transplantation.
