Microsteatosis in Livers from Donation after Circulatory Death (DCD) Donors is Associated with Inferior Graft and Patient Survival Following Liver Transplantation (LTX)
University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI
*Purpose: The current theory is that severe macrosteatosis (MaS) (>50%) in livers recovered from donation after brain death (DBD) donors leads to increased rates of…2019 American Transplant Congress
Development and Implementation of a Pediatric Transplant Consortium
*Purpose: Access to pediatric liver transplant expertise varies nationally and variability in practice leads to potential suboptimal organ utilization and outcomes. A multi-institutional collaborative was…2019 American Transplant Congress
Predicting Post Liver Transplant 30-Day Readmission Using Deep Neural Network Model
*Purpose: Liver transplantation (LT) is a complex, expensive process and requires multidisciplinary care. A significant portion of the estimated $735,000 LT cost can be attributed…2019 American Transplant Congress
Donor Lymphocyte Chimerism and Homozygosity Are Critical Indicators for Timely and Accurate Diagnosis of Acute Graft vs. Host Disease after Liver Transplantation
Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, OH
*Purpose: The mortality of Acute Graft vs. Host Disease (aGvHD) after Liver Transplantation (LT) can be greater than 85% due to delays in diagnosis and…2019 American Transplant Congress
Evaluating Hepatitis C Treatment after Solid Organ Transplantation
*Purpose: There is limited data on the use of direct acting antivirals for hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the solid organ transplant (SOT) population. The…2019 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Previous Hepatic Resection on the Outcome of Liver Transplantation: A Case-Control Analysis
University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy

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…2019 American Transplant Congress
Predicting HCC Recurrence Following Liver Transplant – A Machine Learning Approach
*Purpose: The liver transplant listing criteria for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is controversial. Policies aim to prevent tumor recurrence but it has been difficult to encompass…2019 American Transplant Congress
Occult Liver Graft Fibrosis Prior to Transplantation Influences Clinical Outcomes
Surgery, Dumont-UCLA Transplant Center, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA
*Purpose: Liver transplantation (LT) has become a standard therapy for the management of end-stage liver disease, while early allograft dysfunction (EAD) remains a serious problem.…2019 American Transplant Congress
Variation in Racial Disparities in Liver Transplant Outcomes by Hospital Quality
Emory University, Emory Transplant Center, Atlanta, GA
*Purpose: Black patients experience inferior outcomes after liver transplant (LTx). Studies of other outcomes have shown that disparities are partially attributable to variation in quality…
