National Experience with Living Donor Liver Transplant for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
1Dept of Medicine, UCSF, San Francisco, CA, 2Dept of Surgery, UCSF, San Francisco, CA
*Purpose: LDLT is an attractive option to decrease both wait time and risk of waitlist dropout in HCC. This study aimed to evaluate temporal and…2020 American Transplant Congress
Inactive Status Change is an Independent Predictor of Waitlist Mortality and Disproportionately Impacts Patients in Donor Service Areas with a Higher Median MELD at Transplant
*Purpose: Liver waitlist mortality is calculated by including both active and inactive patients. As inactive patients are unable to receive organ offers, models that adjust…2020 American Transplant Congress
High Health Literacy is Associated with Decreased Likelihood of Waitlist Mortality for Some Solid Organ Transplant Candidates
*Purpose: Health Literacy (HL) impacts post-transplant outcomes and listing for kidney transplant patients, but little is known about likelihood of solid organ transplant for kidney…2020 American Transplant Congress
Prophylactic Biliary Intra-Operative Stents at Orthotopic Liver Transplantation (OLTx)
Mcgill University, Montreal, QC, Canada
*Purpose: Biliary complications can affect up to 40% of patients after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLTx). Endoscopic management has a high success rate but involves multiple…2020 American Transplant Congress
Intravenous Administration of Mitochondria Minimizes Liver Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in Lean and Diet Induced Obese Mice
*Purpose: Ischemia induces altered bioenergetics within cells with increased mitochondrial swelling and reactive oxygen species and that ultimately degrade of cellular function. Ischemia reperfusion injury…2020 American Transplant Congress
Concurrent Final Acceptance Associated with Decreased Deceased Donor Liver Utilization
*Purpose: With broader sharing for candidates with high MELD scores, it is not unusual for liver candidates to receive offers from multiple donors. Accepting multiple…2020 American Transplant Congress
IM Naltrexone Post Liver Transplant for Alcoholic Hepatitis Patients to Prevent Relapse
Transplant Surgery, Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, NY
*Purpose: The number of patients requiring liver transplants due to Hepatitis C Virus is declining due to the new treatment options, and the growing number…2020 American Transplant Congress
Relative Transplant Center Organ Volumes are Associated with Patient and Graft Survival
Surgery, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA
*Purpose: Transplant programs differ in relative volume of kidney and liver transplants. While there is a known volume-outcome relationship for organ-specific transplantation at an institutional…2020 American Transplant Congress
Normothermic Ex Vivo Perfusion of Marginal Liver Grafts Rapidly Stimulates Release of Graft-Derived Exosomes and Markedly Decreases the Inflammatory Pathways Induced at Early Times after Transplant Reperfusion
*Purpose: Normothermic ex vivo machine perfusion of liver grafts (EVLP) is emerging as a superior preservation technology to cold storage. Normothermic EVLP transforms a metabolically…2020 American Transplant Congress
The Liver Protects All? Donor Specific Antibody Formation in Heart-Liver Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: Donor specific antibodies (DSAs) are key in the development of antibody mediated rejection (AMR). Their role in decreased patient and graft survival has been…
