High-Risk Age Window for Graft Loss in Pediatric Lung and Heart Transplant Recipients.
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore.
Late adolescence and early adulthood is a high-risk age window for pediatric kidney graft loss, though not for pediatric liver graft loss. It is unknown…2016 American Transplant Congress
Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) Mismatch Impact on Lung transplants outcomes.
PurposeReports on the impact of HLA mismatching on survival and its role in the development of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) or chronic allograft lung dysfunction…2016 American Transplant Congress
Utility of Six-Minute-Walk Distance in Predicting Lung Transplant Benefit in the Lung Allocation Score Era.
Transplant physicians evaluate patients for lung transplant (LTx) who are on ventilators and ECMO with high lung allocation scores (LAS). Six-minute walk distance (6MWD) predicts…2016 American Transplant Congress
Hyponatremia in Early Post Lung Transplantation Predicts Patient and Hospital Outcomes.
Background: Outcomes of hyponatremia during immediate post-lung transplantation are unknown. We aim to identify the incidence of postoperative hyponatremia and its outcomes.Methods: All lung transplantations…2016 American Transplant Congress
Donor-Derived Monocytes Migrate to the Contralateral Lung and Cause Neutrophilia Following Single Lung Transplant.
Northwestern University, Chicago, IL.
Purpose: Deterioration of the native lung from lung injury occurs in the majority of patients following single lung transplant, but its pathogenesis remains unknown. Here,…2016 American Transplant Congress
6 Minute Walk Test and FVC Analysis: A New Method to Prioritize Organ Allocation for Patients with COPD.

Alterations in Central Carbohydrate Metabolism in Porcine Liver Allografts Preserved with a Subnormothermic Machine Perfusion (SNMP) System.
University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh.
Introduction: Combination of reduced temperature and oxygenation via machine perfusion during liver allograft preservation has the potential to induce profound effects on hepatocyte bioenergetics and…2016 American Transplant Congress
Donor-Derived Toll-Like Receptor-Dependent Intravascular Monocytes Cause Primary Lung Graft Dysfunction.
Northwestern University, Chicago, IL.
Purpose: Neutrophils mediate primary lung allograft dysfunction (PGD), the predominant cause of early graft loss following lung transplant. The mechanisms of neutrophil infiltration remain incompletely…
