Impact Of Aggressive Utilization Of Liver Allografts On Outcomes
Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX
*Purpose: Many risk factors impact outcomes for liver transplantation, among them are factors that are particular to individual transplant centers or center-level factors. Our aim…2019 American Transplant Congress
Frailty is Highly Prevalent in Lung Transplant Candidates and Varies by Frailty Tool
Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Chicago, IL
*Purpose: Lung transplantation is a lifesaving therapy in patients with advanced lung disease. However, frail lung transplant candidates are more likely to be delisted or…2019 American Transplant Congress
The Burden of Recipient Driving Distance and Post Lung Transplant Outcomes: A National Cohort Study
Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH
*Purpose: There are only 75 lung transplant centers in the United States, which leads to a spectrum of travel burdens among patients in order to…2019 American Transplant Congress
Assessment of the Global Practice of Pediatric Living Donor Liver Transplantation: Comparison of U.S. and International Programs
*Purpose: As programs have become more experienced with living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), technical hurdles have been overcome and superior graft and patient survival has…2019 American Transplant Congress
Correlation between Gene Expression and Histology in Transbronchial Lung Transplant Biopsies
University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada
*Purpose: Transbronchial lung transplant biopsies (TBBx) are limited by non-specific histologic lesions and suboptimal interobserver reproducibility. Gene expression offers a potentially more precise, objective and…2019 American Transplant Congress
Inadequate (ax) Transbronchial Biopsies Are Not Associated With Clad Or Death After Lung Transplantation
*Purpose: Acute cellular rejection (ACR) in lung transplantation is defined by perivascular and interstitial mononuclear infiltrates on lung allograft pathology. Procuring a good quality transbronchial…2019 American Transplant Congress
Lung Transplant Outcomes after CABG
*Purpose: Prior coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been a contraindication to lung transplantation (LTx) due to increased mortality associated with bilateral lung transplant. We…2019 American Transplant Congress
Circulating Donor T and NK Cells in Lung Transplantation Recipients Are Derived from the Donor Lung Parenchyma and Represent Tissue-Resident Memory Cells
*Purpose: We previously identified donor lymphocytes in peripheral blood of recipients directly after transplantation and persisting at least three weeks that were characterized by the…2019 American Transplant Congress
Molecular Features of Rejection in Endobronchial Mucosa Biopsies
University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada
*Purpose: Mucosal biopsies are safer and easier to collect than transbronchial biopsies (TBB) but cannot be assessed histologically for lung rejection. Reliable assessment would change…2019 American Transplant Congress
Effect of Donor-Recipient Serologic CMV Matching on 1-Year Post-Lung Transplant Outcomes
Pharmacy, CHI St. Luke's Health Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center, Houston, TX
*Purpose: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) poses significant risks and complications in solid organ transplant (SOT) patients. The current CMV guidelines acknowledge CMV serologic mismatch transplants contribute to…
