Recent Exposure to Four-Factor Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (4F-PCC) is Associated with Intracardiac Thrombus during Liver Transplantation
BackgroundPatients with ESLD often have imbalance in hemostasis & monitoring traditional coagulation lab markers are generally not helpful. Intracardiac thrombus (ICT) during liver transplant (LT)…2018 American Transplant Congress
Congestive Hepatic Fibrosis: Correlation with Cardiac Hemodynamics and Changes after VAD or Cardiac Transplant
Background: Chronic heart failure causes chronic passive congestion of liver that can progress to advanced fibrosis. Liver biopsy is performed for assessment of fibrosis to…2018 American Transplant Congress
Early Life Stress Exposure and Cardio-Renal Outcomes in Pediatric Kidney Transplantation
UAB School of Medicine, Birmingham.
Purpose: Early life stress (ELS) has emerged as an important cardiovascular risk factor in adulthood, and can be characterized by exposure to adverse childhood experiences…2017 American Transplant Congress
Risk Factors and Outcomes of Intracardiac Thrombosis During Orthotopic Liver Transplantation.
Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, MI
Introduction: Intracardiac Thrombosis (ICT) during Orthotopic Liver Transplantation (OLT) is an uncommon event associated with high mortality. The incidence of ICT during OLT is estimated…2017 American Transplant Congress
Intraoperative Fluid Management During Pediatric Kidney Transplantation with Less Than 15kg Body Weight Using Transesophageal Echocardiaography as Hemodynamic Parameter.
Introduction: To avoid low output syndrome (LOS) and delayed graft function (DGF), precise intraoperative hemodynamic monitoring are mandatory for small pediatric recipients with adults' donor…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Intrarenal Resistive Index Measured After Transplantation Is Determined by the Upstream Vascular System of the Recipient.
Objective: We recently demonstrated that the renal resistive index, measured after renal transplantation, reflects recipient characteristics, like recipient age and central hemodynamics, and not so…2016 American Transplant Congress
Role of Donor Hemodynamic Trajectory in Determining Graft Survival in Liver Transplantation from Donation After Circulatory Death Donors.
This retrospective study of 87 donation after circulatory death (DCD) liver transplants from 2007-2015 tested the hypothesis that donor hemodynamic trajectory following withdrawal effects graft…2016 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes of Arterial and Venous Conduits for Vessel Reconstruction in Liver Transplantation.
Background: The use of hepatic artery (HA) and portal vein (PV) conduits is a recognised alternative technique in vessel reconstruction during liver transplantation. The hepatic…2016 American Transplant Congress
Hepatic Hemodynamics (HD) and Portal Flow Modulation (PM): Tactical Use in Small for Size (SFS) Live Donor Liver Transplantation (LDLT).
Objectives:Efforts to reduce the risk of donor hepatectomy have resulted in smaller grafts for transplantation. Grafts below 0.8% of recipient body weight (GW/RW), have been…2015 American Transplant Congress
Engagement of the Vasopressin Receptor On Hepatocytes Protects Liver from Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Via the WNT-β-Catenin-SGK1-FOXO Pathway
The synthetic vasopressin analogue, terlipressin, has been extensively used in the management of certain complications associated with end-stage liver diseases (ESLDs), however concerns have been…
