    A Novel Multi-Thermic, Antiseptic, and Anthropomorphic System for Ex-Vivo Face Perfusion

    J. W. Etra1, J. Brassil2, F. A. Chang1, S. A. Fidder1, D. S. Cooney1, G. Brandacher1

    1Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, 2Functional Circulation LLC, Northbrook, IL

    *Purpose: Facial disfigurement is profoundly disabling, and great relief follows resolution by facial transplantation, now a technical reality at multiple centers worldwide. However, distance between…
  • 2019 American Transplant Congress

    Ex-vivo Xenoperfusion Of Wild Type And Galtko.hcd55 Pig Livers With Human Whole Blood

    D. Detelich, C. Rickert, C. Eymard, C. Carroll, S. Kimura, H. Yeh, J. Markmann

    Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA

    *Purpose: Pig-to-human liver xenotransplantation is not currently feasible due to rapid and profound thrombocytopenia, coagulopathy and hyperacute rejection. Successful development of genetically modified swine to…

    Non-Invasive Imaging Modalities for Immune Monitoring of Vascularized Composite Allografts Using a Translational Large Animal Model

    J. Etra,1 K. Cilwa,2 G. Furtmueller,1 A. Leto Barone,1 K. Kolegraff,1 E. Elster,1 W. Lee,1 G. Brandacher.1

    1Department of Plastic Surgery, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD; 2Naval Medical Research Center, Silver Springs, MD; 3Department of Surgery, Uniformed Services, University of Health Sciences and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, MD.

    PurposeImmunological complications and skin rejection remains an obstacle in broadening the applicability of vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA). Currently, diagnosis of rejection relies on skin biopsies…

    Successful Induction of Tolerance of Fully Allogeneic Lung Graft with Adenosine A2A Receptor (A2AR) Agonist in MHC-Defined CLAWN Miniature Swine.

    H. Sahara, M. Sekijima, T. Murokawa, Y. Ariyoshi, T. Iwanaga, Y. Ichinari, A. Shimizu, K. Yamada.

    Center for Advanced Biomedical Science and Swine Research, Kagoshima University, Kagoshima, Japan

    Introduction: A2AR agonist is known to potently attenuate lung ischemia-reperfusion injury. However, the long-term effects of A2AR agonist on lung allograft survival remain unclear especially…
