Assessment of Coronary Allograft Vasculopathy by Intravascular Ultrasound 6 Weeks and One Year after Heart Transplantation: A Single Center Study
Cardiology, Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas, TX
*Purpose: Coronary allograft vasculopathy (CAV) continues to be a common cause of morbidity and mortality in heart transplant recipients. Little is known about the timing…2020 American Transplant Congress
Detrimental Effects of Donor Brain Death on Tolerance Induction May be Eliminated by Delaying Mixed Chimerism in Non-Human Primates
*Purpose: Induction of tolerance to heart allografts in non-human primates is possible with kidney cotransplantation and mixed chimerism-based induction therapy. However, donor brain death abrogates…2020 American Transplant Congress
Challenging Dogma That Anti-Thymocyte Globulin Induction with Delayed Calcineurin Inhibitor Benefits Patients with Renal Insufficiency Undergoing Heart Transplant
Cedars-Sinai Smidt Heart Institute, Los Angeles, CA
*Purpose: Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) induction is used in approximately 50% of heart transplant (HTx) patients in the United States to induce tolerance. Other programs only…2020 American Transplant Congress
Consistent Prevention of Perioperative Cardiac Xenograft Dysfunction with Non-Ischemic Cardiac Preservation in Life-Supporting Cardiac Xenotransplantation Model
1Surgery, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, 2Revivicor, Blacksburg, VA
*Purpose: Transplantation of organs from animals to humans (xenotransplantation) has been proposed to address the critical shortage of organs for transplantation. The use of genetically…2020 American Transplant Congress
Heart Transplant Outcomes in Adults with Peripartum Cardiomyopathy
Department of Cardiology, Keck Medical Center of University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA
*Purpose: We aimed to evaluate long-term heart transplant (HT) outcomes in adults with peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) and compare them to all other heart transplant recipients.*Methods:…2020 American Transplant Congress
Older Organs Transfer Senescence to Transplant Recipients
1Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA, 2Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN
*Purpose: Older organs represent an underutilized potential. Organ age, at the same time, augments alloimmune responses resulting into increased acute rejection rates. Senescent cells accumulate…2020 American Transplant Congress
Evaluation of the Discrimination of 13 Mortality Risk Scores after Heart Transplantation in a Contemporary UNOS Cohort
Cedars-Sinai Smidt Heart Institute, Los Angeles, CA
*Purpose: Multiple pre-transplant scores aimed at stratifying the risk of death or allograft loss after heart transplantation have been developed over time but their use…2020 American Transplant Congress
Cervical Total Arterial Anastomosis Mouse-to-Rat Heterotopic Heart Xenotransplantation
Organ Transplant Center, The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China
*Purpose: Xenotransplantation is an effective way to solve the problem of donor shortage. However, clinical use of xenotransplantation is currently limited due to immunological challenges.…2020 American Transplant Congress
Bariatric Surgery for Congestive Heart Failure Patients Improves Access to Transplantation and Long-Term Survival
*Purpose: Obese patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) are often denied access to heart transplantation until they obtain significant weight loss to achieve a certain…2020 American Transplant Congress
p40 Homodimers Indirectly Induce Endogenous Donor-Reactive Memory CD8 T Cell Activation within High-Risk Cardiac Allografts and CTLA-4ig Resistant Graft Rejection via IL-15 Signaling
Inflammation and Immunity, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH
*Purpose: We have reported that longer duration of cold ischemic storage (CIS) prior to transplant resulted in increased proliferation of endogenous donor-reactive CD8 T cells…
