Airway Inflammation and Symptoms in Children Following Liver and Heart Transplantation.
Objectives: To describe the upper airway endoscopic findings of patients with stridor, stertor or sleep-disordered breathing after liver transplantation (LT) or heart transplantation (HT).Methods: Retrospective…2016 American Transplant Congress
Pediatric Heart Transplantation Across a Positive Cross-Match Is Associated with High Rates of AMR but No Difference in Short Term Graft Loss, Dysfunction and Death (CTOTC-04 study).
Sensitization is common in pediatric heart transplant (HT) candidates. Waitlist mortality is high if a prospective -ve CDC-crossmatch (XM) is required, but HT across a…2016 American Transplant Congress
Development and Validation of a Molecular Microscope Diagnostic System (MMDx) for Heart Transplant Biopsies.
The diagnosis of heart transplant rejection by histology in endomyocardial biopsies (EMB) is challenging. A molecular system (MMDx) has been developed to assess both T…2016 American Transplant Congress
Clinical and Subclinical Cardiac Events After Kidney Transplantation (KTX).
Introduction. Elevated levels of the biomarker cardiac troponin T levels (cTNT) pre- KTX relates to high mortality and CV risk pre and post-KTX. We sought…2016 American Transplant Congress
