Using HCV Infected Organs and the Challenge of Third-Party Payers
Comprhensive Transplant Center, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH
*Purpose: The practice of transplanting organs from hepatitis C viremic donors (HCV NAT+) into negative recipients hinges on the ability to ensure direct acting antiviral…2020 American Transplant Congress
Neoadjuvant Gem/Cis Followed by Transarterial Radioembolization for Locally Advanced iCCA with Intent for Curative Resection
Transplantation Institute, The University of Chicago, Chicago, IL
*Purpose: Locally advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (LAiCCA) has a traditionally poor prognosis with few curative surgical options and a high incidence of postop recurrence. The intent…2020 American Transplant Congress
Roles of Calpastatin in Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Aged Livers
Surgery, Washington University St. Louis, St. Louis, MO
*Purpose: Aged livers are far more susceptible to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury than young livers. No therapeutic strategies are available to reduce I/R injury in elderly…2020 American Transplant Congress
Reducing Travel While Improving Geographic Equity: Continuous Distribution with “Gravity Functions”
*Purpose: Recently, the OPTN board selected the continuous distribution framework for future organ allocation changes. Continuous distribution allocates organs without geographic boundaries, for example, by…2020 American Transplant Congress
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)

*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…
